As you can see above, the billboard artwork for the upcoming television series, “The Strain” on FX, is a bit disturbing. Even more so when you realize its several feet hire on the interstate. So, FX has decided to listen to the public with their ridiculous demands and take it down.
“We are in the process of replacing the key art for The Strain on outdoor media in several locations,” a FX spokesman said in a prepared statement.
FX has not announced how they are planning to replace the already paid for ad space.
Among those who have been complaining is Kate Aurthur, a writer for BuzzFeed, says,
“As a parent of small children — not to mention an adult human being who hates worms coming out of eyes — I’m surprised to see this image on public streets. I live in fear of my 4-year-old noticing it (he would cry, literally) and have taken to driving out of my way to avoid places where I know the billboard is…And I am not alone!”
Screenwriter Kristin Smith tweeted,
“Seriously, The Strain? I have to look at your disgusting eyeball billboard when I drive? Are you trying to make me crash and die?”
C’mon people. Stop being ridiculous.
“The Strain” is based on the novel series by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. It premiere on FX on July 13.
