Scary billboard of the day

My commute this morning took me in a car down the West Side Highway, instead of on a bike up 8th Ave. And so I was confronted with this enormous billboard, which lives above Fairway at about 138th Street:
How long has it been there? And is there really a chance of seeing Jim Cramer mauled by a Grizzly? I’d tune in for that.
Incidentally, that stretch of the highway was quite congested; we found out why a few minutes later, when we saw a guy in a rather offensive costume standing by the side of the road and advertising his YouTube channel. The minute that we passed him, traffic sped up markedly. It was a classic case of one person imposing enormous negative externalities for the sake of minuscule personal gain: a good couple of miles of backed-up traffic in three lanes, all for the sake of a handful of pageviews on YouTube. At least traffic doesn’t slow down when it approaches the CNBC billboard.

I assume you checked out his youtube channel – purely in the interests of fully rounded reporting, of course
I hope that picture isn’t posted on Jim Cramer’s Face Book page.
“..one person imposing enormous negative externalities for the sake of minuscule personal gain..”
It’s the American way.
“a rather offensive costume”, great jeopardy category
