Here's how the deployment of those signs went out here (in LA). At first, they have them dimmed down, increasing the brightness over time so people don't notice (except the ones who live nearby)- and changing the message fairly slowly, but speeding it up over time.
Most of the LED billboards have the capability of displaying moving images, which they will implement after people get used to the rapidly changing image.
Soon it's going to be like BladeRunner with a damn TV/billboard everywhere you look.
Stop them while you can. Once they're up, they're up to stay.
