This is a great idea!! I hope you don't mind that I "borrowed" it!

The billboard is just a bit too small and 2 dimensional. I also cant work out yet, if its supposed to represent Abe in his younger years or current? Is this fight between him in his prime against some ripped dude, or is it a fight in present times, an ailing old Abe going to get demolished by this big dude.

Hopefully the episode helps because right now I don't really get it. If its for a current event in present times or a billboard of days past will really determine how I use it. At any rate, I have 2 and am thinking of buying another

Put mine at my bus stop. Bought two, regret both.

I put mine by my park-and-ride/bus stop area, too. I don't like it, but if I know it's limited, I gotta have it--I've already missed out on too many limited-time items by starting the game as late as I did. Will probably end up hiding it behind the nuclear plant eventually.

Thank you, think that's given me an idea!

I've done the same thing x

Hahhaha looks like a cage fight, UFC!

[Melody]

Here's mine anyway at the bus shelter

I'm keeping mine In EA's inventory. They have kindly agreed to look after it until the end of the update at which point we have also agreed that they can keep it on a permanent basis.

Two! What happened Melody? Bwahahahahaha!
Don't worry, I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at you.

LOL even I'm laughing at me. I then tried to regenerate my donut loss through two golden tickets and ended up with 6 and 6. Worst update EVER.

The Valentine's update clearly lasted too long for you Melody. By the end of it you became so desperate to do some shopping that EA could have sold you any old shit. Which in fairness they did. Twice!

So I only play at home because I have a wifi enabled ipad and no iphone. Saw there was a billboard and was really excited. Got home from work and.. meh. It's just so little... but I was looking forward to the silly thing so I bought it and stuck it next to the retirement castle for now. Sigh.

On the plus side, bought a golden scratcher and my game immediately crashed so I went back in and it gave me two. I checked and I only got charged for one. Ended up with 29 donuts.

I hear it looks bigger on a smaller town. Perhaps if you trim some of the trees away from it, it will stand out more.

Listen, immaturity is NOT as easy as it looks. Oh wait, male. Yes it is.

Yesterday was a sad, sad day for me.

Melody: Totally "borrowing" the idea of using the billboard to decorate side of shelter from you. It is the perfect solution to my quandary about why neighbors would not notice Christmas Village or Volcano Lair right behind the park-and-ride: it's all about giving them somewhere else to look.

[mdfriend]

I placed mine behind the bench that grandpa normally sits on to nap or feed the birds. It is in n odd spot between the clinic and post office, but eh, will deal with hit later.

[gkpiggy]

Waited on the billboard until I could see it in someone else's town, and glad I did. Can't see spending 40 donuts on it. If it flashed and changed, as above, maybe. Or if it was larger. Or cheaper. Since it is none of those will have to ignore it. Luckily I am not bitten by the "OMG it is limited!" bug since I was happy to ignore Shauna

[sfldboy]

Here is mine....thanks again joshhuffman for getting me back in!

I think it works with all the other junk at the apartments.

@Melody totally dig your bus stop area. 

[robm978]

I put it at my drive-in movie area. Sort of a coming attractions for the big screen.

[jourdo]

I got to keep my precious donuts instead of having a billboard I want to hide.

[michelleus66]

I buried it deep in the woods to make it appear to be a forgotten and grown-over relic from the 1950's when "Gorgeous Godfrey" was big.

In case anyone cares about this kind of stuff, I'm sure "Gorgeous Godfrey" is supposed to be an homage to 1940's/1950's pro wrestler "Gorgeous George". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgeous_George

Gorgeous George was a huge part of early TV broadcasting and was very popular. He was even parodied in the 1950 Bugs Bunny cartoon "Bunny Hugged" (as a flamboyant wrestler named "Ravishing Ronald") blip.tv/retrovision-theater/bugs-bunny-bunny-hugged-1950-6455634

I said "man that's ugly". And you know it will be the Burns Monster of decorations. Too ugly to keep out, and the bonus makes it too good to store or sell.

Thanks for finding that clip.

[Alphahumanus]

Set mine in front of Krustylu. I imagine thats where it would be filmed?

Dont regret the purchase, cause I NEED the Preems.

[sellhigh378]

Mine is more of an homage if you will to the teasers of this Sunday's episode insinuating that Grandpa was gay, just a lovey valentines area at the top of a hill for the pair on the billboard to enjoy.
