You can’t afford it if you have to ask

Right before I got off the 5 FWY today, I noticed this tanker:

I’m only left to wonder exactly what message is being conveyed here.  I’m already priced out of attending the opera in the evenings–not that I’m an opera fan, but there’s principles involved.  Is this a subtle way of letting us know that gas will be out of the reach of the hoi polloi like way too many cultural events in Los Angeles already are?

Nah…I know that there is a very important message being told.

Yeah, it’s:  “We can wrap two tankers and you still can’t afford gas OR the opera.  Sucka ass.”

    I’m guessing it likely cost 10-15k for the hard costs to wrap the two tankers. No idea how much they Opera is paying for the rights, but its probably a trade off for part of a sponsorship title.

    What does "ICME" mean, anyway?
