Whenever I hear Arkansas mentioned I always think of a billboard I saw there. The ad was for a pest exterminator and had a picture of a baby sleeping peacefully in her cradle. Then overtop the baby was photoshopped a huge tarantula, like the ones native to South American jungles and exotic pet stores. Then below it read, "can you afford not to hire an exterminator??" or something to that effect.
Now whenever I picture Arkansas it is as a land gripped by a spider epidemic where babies are constantly being devoured by giant tarantulas.
