"I love Thomas Edison.com"

billboards line I95 near my house in PA. I checked out the website, and it's just what it says--it's about Thomas Edison. What interests me is that the typography is identical to the "I hate Steven Singer" billboards (this is a jeweler, and your husband will hate him because you will want to buy diamonds. I guess).

Who is doing this advertising, and why? Anybody know?
