I get it I understand that you are not for beef or beef eating consumers. That is obvious with the type of billboard advertisements that reflect that. This billboard I do believe crossed that fine line of being in "poor taste." Why would you even waste your advertising dollars on a campaign done without taste and dignity? I am sure there are other clever ways to get the message across without stooping as low as this for many viewers to see while on the highway. I do not know who you are trying to reach as your audience but let me tell you that this is not the way to reach people that are Christian. Why would you use something as simple as mocking, even if the butt of the joke is not a human but it is a cow? Mocking is still mocking and that is not a Christian moral or standard at all. Jesus did not openly mock others He reached out to others. To get a chuckle or two from someone at the expense of another is not the way to go about it. Your recent billboard sign is just down right not pleasing to view as I drive past it. Consider changing your billboard campaign. You have a great product and people like your products. Remember not too long ago how many people supported your organization when you took a stand for something that the company believed in? People like you so why would you try to insult people now to get them to not like you as much as they did.
I enjoy a good joke for laughter is good and a merry heart doeth good. Do not get that laughter at the expense of another though, that is just not using wisdom. You can still laugh with a great billboard campaign that does not cause one to drive by and think to them self, "Oh that billboard sign is coming up I have to look in another direction so as to not see garbage today." I was taught this "garbage in then that garbage stays with you." The actual phrase was "Garbage in garbage out." If you allow garbage into your life it will eventually come out of you because you are around it a lot. You become what you allow to influence your life be it either good or bad. Does that make sense? Be careful of what you allow to take into your thoughts and viewing of for if you open the door to garbage thoughts, etc. you then allow it to grow inside of you and why waste your time and effort with stuff like that when there are good and lovely thoughts and things that are uplifting out there to occupy your thoughts and time. Like the type of music you may listen to. If you listen to Christian music and praise music that is what stays with you. If you listen to music that speaks words of gloom and doom or sad words that is the mood you are creating in your life. Be careful to the things you allow yourself to listen to both words, conversations, television programming, Facebook comments, Twitter comments, etc. The list could go on and on the point being be careful of what you allow yourself to engage in so you do not open a door for yucky things.
If you have allowed yourself to do this then ask God to forgive you and start over again. It is like breaking a bad habit it does not happen over night it takes a process of several days to break that bad habit or to incorporate a good habit into your lifestyle. You can do this, you can do this, you really can. Seek God's help and Holy Spirit will help you with this. He truly will. Remember, you are the only one that can control what you allow yourself to view or hear. Choose wisely and Holy Spirit will direct you in this. Ask Him to He will, you just need to ask and then follow His leading. He is faithful are you faithful to follow? Only you can answer that.
