Would This Bed Bug Billboard Keep You From Shopping Here?

Over on Rick Moser’s blog, he posted this photo of a billboard in NYC featuring a mammoth bed bug looming over a strip club, a souvenir shop and a pizza joint. Aside from it just being creepy-to-the-max, might this billboard not also be doing damage to the businesses below?

Would you buy a slice of pizza from a pizzeria underneath this billboard? Or get a lapdance at the “gentleman’s club”? And what about for the people who live and/or work inside that building? We don’t have answers to these questions, but we’d sure love to hear your answers.
