"Lexington is For the Birds" Billboard Damaged

by:Matt Jones07/29/12
You may remember the whole controversy about the "Lexington is For the Birds" billboard, in which UL fans raised money to create a billboard to mock Kentucky. The billboard company would not put the billboard in Lexington, it ended up off the interstate in Frankfort (on the way to Louisville) and had a 1 month term life. Well apparently recently, the billboard was damaged outside of Frankfort. This is a picture from a UL fan site of the billboard with what looks like some type of grey thing over it. I am not sure if that is a sheet, or the material has been torn off, but regardless, it looks as if something has happened to it. I hate to see the result, as it just feeds into the whole "Kentucky fans are (insert whatever word people who hate on UK fans choose to use)" mentality. But as a person who has had his car keyed and more "I am going to punch you in the face/kick your ass" threats in the past two years than most anyone I know, I am also not going to get up in arms about it. However if anyone ever lays a finger on Aaron and his basketball links...well there will be hell to pay.
