Adult superstores
· Hardware · 27 posts · Jul 17, 2004 — Jul 19, 2004 View original thread ↗
I just drove across the country (NH-NV). Man was I surprised by the number of these stores I saw along the way. Those truckers must really get lonely.
I'm not sure if this thread will have any real value, but I'm kinda bored...
may be they are all autoparts store in disguise..

All the signs are black with yellow lettering. Some guy made one (in the same style) that said "Jesus: the Adult Super-Saviour" Made me chuckle. I took a digi pic, but it's not that good.

I've only known my colors for about 20 years or so, but that looks blue and yellow to me.
Yeah, I noticed that driving from Illinois to Oklahoma two weeks ago. But what amazed me about the Adult Superstore billboards was that for every sex-related billboard, there was a Jesus billboard, often right next to / above eachother. Some just said "Jesus" and others claimed that pornography destroys lives.

It kind of makes me wonder if there were Jesus billboards everywhere would the porno guys feel it was their duty to put up signs negating them. Ah the Christianity/pornography struggle rages on.

Unless we have the same messed up monitor calibration, I'd have to say that I agree with you.
It's funny living here in the Bible belt. There is a church on one corner and an adult store on the next. Maybe it's so that people can easily repent for all the temptation that they give into on the next street?
Missouri = Adult Superstore Heaven
You know it's to sad that the porn industry has managed to use "Adult" so well as a marketing tool. I mean who would feel guilty about going into an "Adult" bookstore... much better than even going into a "Used" bookstore...

Wonder if we could get them calling it smut again...

For the record, as soon as you see Jesus billboards all over the place, then you know you have the perfect environment to set up a porn shop. Because all the kids have grown up with Christian moms and dads, and so they don't really appreciate the faith that they're kinda confessing.

actually, likely it's the dads buying all the smut.

Kids these days generally don't need sex stores - apart from the fact that they can't buy at "adult" stores, anyway.

Your reasoning is messed up.

All I remember is a stretch from Kansas City to St. Louis yielded at least 3-4 Superstores every 20 miles or so...HUGE billboards, Casino type lighthing...

I hate predominately Christian areas... they tend to be the least Christian places you can find ironically.

Not quite as ironic as the Christian church above the prostutuon house in Amsterdam. There is actually some interesting history behind it, but I'll leave that up you you to discover on your own. I believe it is commonly referred to Our Lord in the Attic.
Very interesting how the porn business has been evolving. Much harder for those adult stores to survive so they have to advertise heavily.
Wonder why Missouri happens to have the largest number?

Is it because it's the "Show Me" state?
damn, it's dark here or I'd go takeya a pic... right up the street we have 'Todays Adult Bookstore' (ultra-tacky front with mannequins in lycra in the front window) right next door to 'Dayton Church Supply'. They've both been there for years, rather the joke of the city, Garrison Keillor even picked up on it...

No word on whether they lunch together, offer discounts, etc...
Hey, here's that Jesus sign I was talking about. Sorry it's kinda blurry.
