I did not know how much they made, but also I wasn't so much thinking
about the house signs. In particular I was thinking about the Wireless
Giant on 1600 N. Once I saw a kid shaking a piece of _carpet_ over by
the mall outside a carpet store. It just makes me wonder why everyone is
so desperate for advertising they have to have people wave stuff out in
the hot sun.

I wouldn't mind working for 12/hr as a teenager listineng to my ipod in
the sun. Not something I would do now :)
