Jane Q v. OrangeTV: Fort Ground Grill Billboard

Jane Q. Citizen: Have you seen the Ft. Ground Grill's billboard on NW Blvd? Very Hooters-like and some of the waitresses at the grill have been pretty vocal about their displeasure at how the place is being marketed. The billboard says something like "there's nothing better than a great pair of eggs" with a short skirt clad woman with a serving tray.

OrangeTV: I like the Ft. Ground Grill billboard. It's fun and campy and extremely memorable. It's like an old Vargas painting or something, hardly offensive. How about the Botox billboards near Riverstone? Now, that's a little bizarre. "We accept walk-ins!" Wonder how many folks just driving by get the sudden urge to have a nice little injection or two?
