Awesome Billboards & Ads
Photos of billboards and crazy outdoor ads
found throughout the world:
“Homeless Child” Cut-out
Do you have the hear to push away a homeless child? A cut-out figure decal on some Indian doors by Trikya Grey Advertising. Kind of like this ballerina or this pie-in-the-face. More images on Coloribus.
Ariel Billboards
A series of billboards for Ariel at Frederik Samuel’s. If you like this one (I do), you’ll appreciate this SlimFast billboard from a few days ago.
“Harder Than Truth” Bathroom Mirrors
Adverblog brings us the news about these bathroom mirrors for the Germany’s Bild newspaper. The mirrors say, “Nothing is harder than the truth.” Very tame by German ad standards, too. The tagline should’ve been more like “Featuring dickheads since Gutenberg”. See some more bathroom fun.
“Erection” Billboard”
A billboard for some pills that cure erectile disfunction. Compare to this billboard for Electrolux vacuum cleaners. (via Creative Criminal)
Urinal Soccer
A real mini-soccer installation for urinals to convince guys to watch soccer on ESPN. Crazy. If you want more games like this, check out this one for Mini. Or this one, that’s actually a real video game.
The “Aparicion” Illusion
Not a billboard (although I wonder if it could work), but a nice follow-up on the post about illusions. Click the image to zoom in for a stronger effect.

“Coffee Tastes Like Crap” Garbage Bins
Redecorated garbage bins placed near Starbucks outlets by a small competitor Draft New Zealand. More pictures at AdRants.
Playboy Outdoor Campaign
A campaign for Playboy Argentina puts paparazzi in public showers and restrooms. Comparate to this campaign from Kellogg’s that also transformed stall walls into something else.
Billboard for Nose Drops
This is a billboard for nasal decongestant Sorine. The copy says something like “If congested, use Sorine”. Very cool although the message takes some time to get through.

Cut-out People Billboard for BMW
One of these guys is real, but the rest are part of a fence decoration for BMW. More at Mighty Optical Illusions.
Absolut Voyeur
Last year’s three-week store installation in Sydney. People peering through the Absolut-shaped peephole saw themselves on close-circuit television. Check out more billboards and outdoor installations for Absolut in this part i and part ii series.

“The Massachusetts state Outdoor Advertising Board has ordered Boston developer John Rosenthal to remove a billboard that sits atop a parking garage between Fenway Park and the Massachusetts Turnpike which shows George Bush’s eyes and the phrase “Little Brother Is Watching,” according to the Boston Globe.”
