I had vouched to give the whole divorce saga a rest. I had decided to sit back, hope for the best, and not to read anything about the matter until D-Day on the 28th.

But as fate would have it, yesterday, I was driving through the Santa Venera tunnels, and I almost crashed my car (again), at the sight of a shocking pink billboard sporting a clock and asking 'A marriage that expires? No Thanks."

Whilst I was still angrily debating the extensive use of pink, which is uncannily similar to the pro-divorce movement's campaign colour, I drove by another billboard.

This one had been put up by the pro-divorce movement whose cause I fully support. However, despite my alignment to the cause, I had to stop my car by the side of the road and deal with a sudden fit of hysterical laughter. Seriously guys, what were you thinking?

The billboard shows the face of a sad baby and says 'Forced to cohabit. And our children are illegitimate. Is this right? Followed by the movement's logo 'YES'

In an unsuccessful attempt to calm down, I kept on driving along only to run into another two billboards by the pro-divorce movement, and another one by the anti-divorce movement. There's nothing much to say about the latter, except that it is as bland as the people behind it, but I found the other two pro-divorce billboards extremely entertaining.

One of them shows a woman with a black eye and asks the question 'If this was your daughter, wouldn't you give her a second chance?" The question is followed by the IVA logo. This makes sense because IVA is the answer that the pro-divorce movement are hoping for, so the logo 'IVA' is consistent with their desired answer.

The third billboard however, shows a couple playing with money and asks "The right to divorce is only available to those who can afford to get it from abroad. Is this right?" and once again it is followed by the IVA logo!

Just like the billboard referring to illegitimate children, the desired answer to this question is a big fat NO, so the close proximity of the movement's logo 'IVA', which looks like it's answering the question for the reader, creates a hilarious incongruity.

So tell me, am I the only one wetting my pants every time I drive past one of these billboards?
