Silicone, Anyone?

My business used to be housed in an office a few feet from this billboard. Only it was a different billboard back then. I was driving by, saw this, and felt like I couldn’t pass it up. It is poorly designed, to be sure, but I’m not sure that matters so much, at least as far as…

Location: Arcadia, CA.

Year: 1992-93 or thereabouts.

I’ve had this photo for about 15 years or longer, now. One day I was riding through my hometown of Arcadia, CA and on a major street I see this billboard. At first I didn’t notice anything, but something caught my attention and the I did a double-take and thought “What the…?” The vandals had done such…

Jesus is Watching You Buy that Porn

It’s not bad, it’s not good, it’s just random strangeness. Coincidence or on purpose? Taken by Drew Newell near Farmington, New Mexico in 2006.

Don’t give teenagers alcohol, but if you do, it’s worth making it Bud Light.

Stole this from skateboard website Post 22. I’d like to think these two billboards were placed next to each other by mistake, because that would be funnier, but I’m starting to wonder if the beer billboard went up first and then the “don’t buy alcohol for teens” one. That wouldn’t be so funny. But what would we call it if…

4 R Kids Sake, San Diego

This billboard might be raising awarenress, but it could probably raise a lot more with a few tweaks to the design.

1. Although the content of the billboard related to kids, it is not targeted towards kids, nor is it a kid-related product. The target is adults with kids, and the message is a dark one–if you leave your kids in…

Jesus Drove an SUV, Mohammad Pumped His Gas

Yeah, that’s just fantastic. I don’t think Jesus would be keen to endorse the message of this billboard. Who are these people? I consider myself a conservative but I sure don’t want to be lumped in with whoever came up with this one.

What is it about realtors feeling like everybody needs to know what they look like? I collect business cards, and I’ll be darned if I don’t have a single card from a realtor that doesn’t have a photo of them on it. At the same time, I don’t think a single one of the other 1,200 cards I have has…

Rob Calloway at the Civic Arena

Rob Calloway has a haircut you could set your watch to. I’m not even sure what to say about this one. I guess talk really is over.

Well, one thing, is Rob also The Bear, or is that who he’s fighting? Doesn’t look like the same guy, but maybe it’s just the hair. Ok, talk really is over now.

Wow, this billboard has everything. No, seriously, I don’t think there is a single “thing” that exists in the universe that was not included on this billboard. At least Butch and the Hollywoods look like they have fun.

This billboard is not next to a freeway, so it can get away with one thing that billboards next to freeways can’t, which is…
