“Witness” Billboard Dismantled

We wonder what, if any billboard, will take its place: “Workers began dismantling the 10-story-tall iconic image of James on a mural in downtown Cleveland yesterday. The billboard has dominated the city’s skyline for years but is being removed after the superstar announced he was leaving the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. As strips of the image of James, his arms outstretched and head thrown back after doing his pregame powder toss, began coming off, pedestrians stopped on Ontario Street to take photos and cars pulled to the side for one last look at No. 23, who has gone from being a hometown hero to villain.”

    surely it’d been cheaper to change it so it says “we were all witnesses”. simple solution! they never think, do they….

    i still wish someone burned that thing. and i’m not even a Cavs fan. but i LOVED ESPN showing the Lebron jersey being burned. awkward for ESPN to air that, but if the egomaniac is airing a 1-hour tv special, might as well.

    trust people wanted to burn that thing that night he had is lame “special” (even if he stayed did he really need a tv special?) but the cops where on guard all night
