Truely frightening.

Now don't get me wrong, I love our state and if you've never been to the Ozarks, you gotta see it someday. Sure we have our gawdy tourist traps and the endless varieties of Hillbillies performin'on stage, but there is absolutely nothing in the region as annoying as the numerous Precious Moments chapel billboards that are plastered along the highways. Yuck!! I sympathize with anyone who has suffered the loss of a child and to erect a memorial is understandable but to comercialize it and make a bunch of $$$ over it adds a big dose of distaste to the thing. Just my opinion and I know someone loves the figurines or they would have stopped makin' 'em long ago. My personal hope is to someday be in an antique mall at the exact time when a glass display case full of the statues goes crashing to the ground. What a lovely sight it would be! (That is as long as I'm not the one who bumped into it!!!)

I was watching "clean sweep" on TLC over the holiday. They forced a woman to sell off her entire collection. She had boxes of those scary little beasts.
