The actual central Democratic party apparatus introduced a wacky prank last week to stick it to farty ol’ Rush Limbaugh: they’d come up with a funny slogan about Rush being weird and place it on a billboard in Rush’s hometown. Then Rush would see it all the time and feel embarrasse...

What did the old Pearl Beer "waterfall billboard" on I-35 in Dallas say in 1996? Am I crazy in thinking that the lyrics in the chorus of the Butthole Surfers song "Pepper" made direct reference to the text of the sign? I have a distinct memory that when the song came out, the bil...

So the Democratic National Committee has embarked on a campaign to make Rush Limbaugh the face of the Republican Party. Now, I’m not a Republican (and certainly not a Democrat), so in one sense, I don’t care, but what they’ve decided to do run a contest for people to send in 10-wor...

Driving down I-95 Sunday, my old lady and I spotted this billboard: I originally didn't like this ad because it was so hard to read that I nearly slammed into the jersey wall. After my wife and I took turns trying to pronounce "Hungergency", like a poor reenactment of the nitrous oxide scene in Blac...

A week later and as usual we have some chart and sales results for two great albums. We all expected Lamb Of God’s Wrath to sell well and sold well it did. I mean, it didn’t sell Slipknot or Metallica well, but it still did pretty good selling around 68k copies and landing the album in t...

We’ve followed the hard work of IllegaSigns.ca before and now they’ve helped Toronto city council win a case in court against billboards companies. The Ontario Supreme Court ruled that Toronto has the right to take down illegal billboards primarily because there is a large public outcry....

In your almost-Spring Wednesday media column: layoffs at Billboard, Comcast calls the FBI, the continued decline of lunch, and the future of newspapers is here! A joking japester "pens" an editorial in E&P to suggest newspapers pursue new ideas like edible pages, HOT girls on page one, and increased...

In his first interview with a U.S. publication (and not a message board in some nine years, Axl Rose engaged in an e-mail chat with Billboard's Jonathan Cohen in which he talked about his frustrations with his label ("at least in regard to the U.S., for the most part I don't look at it like we have ...

  Last month's story about the atheism bus and subway ad campaign is far and away the most-visited post we've ever run. Fools on both sides of the aisle are still debating the merits of the anti-God argument and every other aspect of the article. As of now, there are more than 80 commen...
