com An immigration activist group is drawing attention to a photograph showin g a billboard ad for a Spanish-language TV newscast in LA on which the "CA" abbreviation after "Los Angeles" has been crossed out and the word "Mexico" added in its place.
The billboard reportedly sits along the 605 freeway in Southern Californi a A photo of the ad was taken by a commuter who says he first though hi s eyes were playing tricks on him. The e-mail that accompanied the photo read: I travel every day to and from work on the 605 freeway. By the sand quar ries and the river wash there are many billboards. I have noticed that it seems more and more of them are in Spanish. Last week, I thought I noticed something strange on one of billboards. T he 605 moves fast usually at that point, so I went by again the next da y and verified that the CA was crossed out and replaced with MEXICO. Still not wanting to believe my eyes, or hoping they were playing tricks on me, I went by again, Sunday afternoon the 24th. I drove north on the 605 past Ramona and the re it was on the right-hand side. I guess they don't have to hide their intentions anymore. PA In the center of the billboard, placed within the LA skyline, is an ima ge of the Angel of Independence, a well-known monument in Mexico City, f urther suggesting the merging of Los Angeles and Mexico. Last month, ClearChannel, the apparent owner of the billboard, announced a "Multicultural Sales and Marketing Initiative" to expand its focus on "serving the fast-growing US Hispanic and African American population. " A call to KRCA, channel 62, was not returned by press time.
