Large "Bomb Iran!" billboard in Utah attracts attentions
It is reported that a new billboard has gone up off I-215 in West Valley City, Utah that has evoked a strong reaction among viewers, which, the designer of the billboard says, was exactly the point.
In large red letters, "Bomb Iran!" is scrawled across the sign. At first glance, many are certain to wonder why someone would pay to put that message on a billboard in the very conservative, heavily Mormon dominated population of Utah. On the second or third glance, the answer might become more obvious. Above the words "Bomb Iran" is written in smaller lettering, "Support the Troops," with "Troops" crossed out and replaced with "Military Industrial Complex." The sign points viewers to www.bombiran.org where it is made clear that the creators of the sign do not actually want to bomb Iran. One of its designers, Connor Boyack, author and director of The Tenth Amendment Center in Utah, said that the goal of the billboard is to challenge people's assumptions.
