Throw a rock at a girl, why don't ya!

There is a billboard I pass every morning on my commute into downtown SLC. It is a picture of three, large, free-standing diamonds - clearly an advertisement for a jewelry company.

Their slogan is classic... and when I get married, I'm telling Mr. Man to buy my ring there. They deserve our business for this:

"Sometimes, it's okay to throw rocks at girls."

Well said, diamond company.

    1. Can I just say how much I love that neato little scrabble title thingy. Luff it.
    2. This is probably my favorite billboard, even more than the "Weekends were made for Effen" vodka sign. It kills me every time.

    But have you noticed... the billboard is gone? So this post also is partly in mourning of our loss. :)

    @Jenna - I can't remember the name of the company, and they took the billboard down so I can't check their name. :( I should have been more observant! Glad your first day went so well!!

    Ah so the ad didn't really work, because they didn't communicate to you that you needed to buy your diamonds at their store. See how our job messes with your mind! I can't look at billboards the same ever again.

    I loved that billboard when I would see it. So sad it is gone. Maybe they are scheming up a new fun one in the near future?? :)
