Remember how I said that awful billboards urging us to give blood had invaded Pittsburgh? A while after I posted, they disappeared (not that my post had anything to do with it). But another billboard along the same lines has appeared (see the pic on the right), and this one is even more disturbing. There's the sappy "thank you for my blood" message, same as last time. And there's the sappy kid, same as last time. But what's that propped against the kid's chest? Why, it's a plastic bag of blood! You know it's happy fun time when Ma and Pa take the blood out of the fridge and let the kids play with it. Or perhaps this kid sidled up to the counter at the central blood bank and asked for a pint to go, stat. (Though really, the kid looks so spacey I doubt he even knows he's got a bag of please-let-it-be-fake human blood on him.) What are these people thinking? This is just sick and wrong.
