If you've ever driven past a weird billboard and wondered if it was the result of someone losing a bet, well, there is now precedent for that assumption. A billboard in Buffalo, N.Y., features local developer William Huntress standing with his arm around his son-in-law, Omar Abu-Sitta. The headline is: "Don't let erectile dysfunction affect your love life!" And yes, it turns out Bill and Omar lost some kind of family bet—possibly to Huntress's son—and agreed to pose for the ad, which stayed up for a week (so to speak).
