According to the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal, a billboard recently went up that asks, "Wife need new shoes?" Below that - the American Concrete logo and the words "Happy Holidays."
Company owner Kevin McCabe thinks the Sopranos-inspired billboard is a hoot. Local YWCA director Kathleen Granchelli disagrees, stating that "with the number of fatalities we see in the domestic violence field, it’s not a joke. It’s in very poor taste.”
The Family Violence Prevention Fund reports that on average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends every day in the U.S.
Feministing.com has a photo of the billboard and says, "Nothing like a little eggnog, a roaring fire, and some wife-killing jokes to make the season bright."

Seriously girls, unbunch the panties. I was in an abusive relationship my 1st marriage, and I still think this was funny. People are so over-sensitive these days.
