Great picture. I zoomed in and read it–what’s going on now makes the text seem very tame by comparison.

Forest Lawn, as many here probably know, was the inspiration for Evelyn Waugh’s “The Loved One.” They’ve advertised at Dodgers games, and it feels very LA to be talking baseball with someone and then suddenly be subjected to a big ad for death on the jumbotron (which would be a good name for a bad thriller).
