Unfortunate billboard placement number 2438

FishNChimps found these two billboards. There's nothing wrong with either of them, really. They're not spectacular, but they're simple and get the point across. Unfortunately, when you put them together it doesn't exactly send the most positive message. I don't pretend to know everything there is to know about advertising, but having a recruitment billboard for the Marines hanging over another billboard advertising a funeral home just doesn't seem like a good idea. Although, if you think about it, the placement doesn't really hurt the funeral home at all. if anything, they should consider more juxtapositions like this.
