L.A.’s quirky Smoking Deaths billboard: The Smoking Deaths billboard in West L.A. keeps a running tally of annual smoking deaths. Every year, on Dec. 31, a crowd gathers as the death-toll counter resets to zero.

Well, it looks like Carmageddon (the hyperhyped media blitz term for the closure of Los Angeles’ I-405 Freeway between the 101 and I-10 occurring this weekend and making all Angelenos scared for their lives) isn’t doingeveryone a disservice… 

Random poll question: How many L.A. residents will not be getting laid this weekend thanks to Carmageddon? (aka, “Baby I love you but hell no I’m not driving to the Westside just to see you tonight.” or “Yo bro there’s no way I can get over to UCLA this weekend, this sucks, so much missed-pussy-opportunity! Shit!”)  

Less random poll question: How many L.A. residents will be getting laid this weekend thanks to Carmageddon?  (aka, “Just crash here for the weekend” and “I’ve never heard of this thing you call ‘public transit options’, so I’m just gonna have to stay a few more hours…”)

Welcome to generally any undesirable location just east of Los Angeles, California / in or around Phoenix, Arizona.
