BILLBOAR'DESTRUCTION'

Imagine Times square (NYC) or Leicester Square (London)
without its bright electronic boards and billboards. That's
pretty much Chennai looks like since last week. Sometimes its
nice looking at the various billboards when ur in a traffic jam
moving nowhere. Now they (of course the govt) says that
billboards were removed b'coz they were illegal and distracts
people. Lets take for argument sake that the govt took total care
on its citizens (I can hear a few chuckles) that they removed
distaction causing billboards. But I've got a doubt. Can
anybody tell me why the 2 billboards lining Kodambakkam
bridge wasnt removed yet? Oh yeah.. I think I knew the
answer. One advertises programs of Kalaignar TV and the
other, a huge poster of one Mr. Karunanithi. Is this what's
called politics?
