What's this?

Ahh come on guys. First off this is self censorship

based on some reactions. Second would you be okay if the scene showed a child being hurt? Or a dog? What if he was raping her? Do we really NEED to have violence like that on roadside billboards? Would a scene like that be in a G rated movie? If not why should it be plastered giant size on a public street?

Sometimes its not about "rights" or "freedom of speech", or equal treatment of women. Sometimes it's not about "can", it's about "should". Sometimes its just about civility, and common sensitivity. Save it for the trailer

Rape and childhood violence are different and go to turning off -- BocaHoo91 06/06/2016 6:54PM

My POINT is about depicting VIOLENCE on a roadside billboard -- 111Balz 06/07/2016 07:52AM

OK. It seems like you're making a different point than the people -- BocaHoo91 06/07/2016 10:47AM

I dunno, Boca. You don't think violence against women (or children) is -- WahooRQ 06/07/2016 12:23PM

Of course it is... in real life. Hoolstoptheheels' post -- BocaHoo91 06/07/2016 1:32PM
