There's a new billboard at 15th Avenue and Denny Street, in the parking lot of my nearest and dearest 7-Eleven Convenience Store. While I'm happy it isn't the usual horror movie style blood-and-gore fetus photo, I'm very unhappy this marketing tries to appeal to some sense of logic, using the word "fact."

I mean, c'mon, if you wanna talk "facts," how about you start with good ole Bill Nye the Science Guy? He suggests "at some point we all HAVE TO respect the facts." Or, hey, here's another fact. Those new large pepperoni pizzas they're selling at the 'Sevvie for only $5.55?! They're actually pretty decent. FACT! I'm sorry it's true. I mean they're still greasy pepperoni pizzas, and not everyone wants one ALL THE TIME. I mean, maybe you only need to eat a 7-Eleven pepperoni pizza once in your whole lifetime—it's still nice to know if you need that greasy pepperoni pizza, it's legal and doesn't cost a small fortune, making it only available to rich people.
