Commotion over billboard a sign of the times

Deborah Boroughs was driving to work west on the Schuylkill Expressway between the Vare and University Avenue exits when she saw a billboard showing a frightened middle-aged man perched on a chair with a phone to his ear.

And the words: Ehrlich, The 911 of Pest Control.

"My first reaction was that I didn't see that right, that no one could be that insensitive," the nurse from Wallingford said, shocked that a business would be exploiting the World Trade Center tragedy. So she looked again the next day.

And she still saw exterminators using Sept. 11 to kill mice. How could they?

The pest-control company insists that it is using the nationwide emergency number 911, not 9/11, and that it's all a big misunderstanding.

<snip>
After looking at the billboard a second time, she described it to her brother in Chicago, just to check that she was not overreacting. Her brother said she was not. So she found Ehrlich's Web site and wrote an e-mail that said, in part:

"In the name of all things sacred, I respectfully ask you to remove your offensive billboard advertising... . Its claim of being the '9/11' of the extermination world makes a mockery of the unspeakable pain suffered by so many people who will read it.

"What will be your next slogan, 'We're the Holocaust of the Pest War'?"

Lynne S. Gerlach, spokeswoman for Ehrlich, a Reading-based company that operates in seven states, including New Jersey and Delaware, said the slogan was conceived in 1999 and has nothing to do with the loss of life caused by the terrorist airplane crashes in New York City, northern Virginia, and Shanksville, Pa., on Sept. 11.

"We started the slogan in response to research that shows consumers want someone there quickly, someone who is responsive, and someone who will do a good job," Gerlach said. And that's why, she said, 911, the nationwide emergency number, was used. "When we explain it, people understand."

She added that after 9/11, Ehrlich briefly considered changing the slogan. "But if we did that," Gerlach said, "then we thought we were giving the terrorists a victory."

Full Story”

“A simple / makes all the difference.”

“I agree that ,that is out of line!!
Mds Govenor is named Ehrlich so when I saw that I was like huh??lol”

“How is someone mistaking nine one one for nine eleven out of line?

Overreaction.”

“That governor should change their name. How insensitive, trying to make political capital off of the name of a pest control company...”

“Enough already, say the residents of Gaywood Road who are darned tired of getting their street signs nabbed by pranksters humored by the name.

The fourth custom-made green wooden sign with fancy white letters disappeared over the holidays. With new signs costing $600 a pop, neighbors aren't laughing anymore.

Residents on Gaywood Road in Alamo -- and on Gaywood Place in Moraga, where street signs also have been stolen -- like their street name and wouldn't have it any other way. They want no such name change and are bemused by those captivated by the word "gay."

"At first we made a joke out of it, and everybody pitched in to buy a new sign," said 10-year Alamo resident Linda Buschmeyer. "Then, it wasn't so funny the second time on. It is kind of a personal insult."

Right now, the close-knit neighborhood of eight households is deciding what to do next. They may just stencil the street name on two posts.

"It's getting too expensive. We are kind of done with this game," said 14-year Alamo resident Anne Herzog.

“Hey Sarge, Trekker John is on his way to the Philippines right now. Missionary work.”

“I'm sure there are a lot of disappointed guys that ended up there.

“Democratic Party HQ?”

“There used to be a salon called "Snipples." Then the "S" burned out...”

“alcohol rubs were their specialty - right?”

“Boy, you peeps sure have dirty minds......

I first thought of a Supermarket Of Garden Implements. ;-)”

“yeah - right”

“I took this in West TN last week.

I think I know who is to blame.

“i like the sign at the cabin, a restaurant near hnf, that reads

"no children on pool table without parents"”

“Paste one over it that Reads:

"Cumon In...Owner didn't make it....."”

“I like the one that says: "No Trepassing- Prosecuters Will Be Violated"”

“Or the one that used to be on the Kennedy Compound in Florida

"Tresspassers will be VIOLATED"”

“Hey! Why are you guys taking pictures of my front gate!”

“Tell us your kidding ... or tell us where your gate is located.”

“Haha, kidding, but I have seen those signs around here.”
