Hack This Site

AKA Exodus International
No, really. Hack it senseless. Force the sad, pathetic owners of this URL to pull the plug.

This is in regards to the anti-homosexuality billboards popping up throughout the city. The billboards (that I've seen) state something along the line of how homosexuals can be changed. All they need is a little brainwashing help from their "friends" at Exodus International. I truly wish I had a picture of the counterstrike. The billboard above eastbound I-44 was attacked by pink & black spray paint or paintballs?? - not sure, but it's paint. The billboard above westbound I-64/40 has a sign across a portion of the billboard that kindly states 'Kiss My Ass'. I salute the good people who took the time to climb way the up to the catwalk in front of the actual billboard. Now, I'm not advocating vandalism or criminal behavior in any way. However, these so-called good Christians had this one coming.

Here's a suggestion that doesn't involve breaking any laws. These billboards run say $2-3K. Hypothetically speaking. Buy or lease a billboard on the opposite side whether it be single individual, organization, community group. Post a positive message to counteract the ignorant message across the street. No hardcore porn or profanity. Put out a strong, positive statement that promotes less ignorance & bigotry and perhaps more respect and love for all humankind. Hell, rally up your friends and throw a donation party to raise funds for your billboard. Everyone needs a good reason to party right? Anyways, I thought I'd share my sixpence.

In the meantime, check out the good folks below that continue to fight the good fight.
