BuzzFlash on Freeway Blogging

BuzzFlash has interviewed the Freeway Blogger.

Exerpt:
BuzzFlash: You’ve begun a really simple but tremendously innovative effort to make more Americans aware of the majority opinion in this country, which is that Bush and Cheney are doing a dreadful job in leading the nation, and a particularly horrific job in the Iraq war leading to the deaths of more than 3,000 GIs and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and spending hundreds of billions of dollars. You have a site called freewayblogger.com. Can you explain what freeway blogging is?

Freeway Blogger: Yes, it’s very simple. Freeway blogging is a way of reaching the greatest number of people with the least amount of expense or energy on the part of an individual. Essentially if you want to spread a message to as many people as possible in this society, and you don’t have a TV or a radio station or any kind of media outlet at your disposal, the best way to do it is simply to place signs next to freeways. Make large texts and put them next to freeways where they can be seen. One sign sitting next to a major urban freeway will be seen by about 200,000 people every day until it comes down. And a sign costs ten cents.
