Was that my Ad?
Spotted in Perth Australia. The advertising agency who got the Yellowglen contract is laughing. A picture of a woman and a few bubbles. That's it. It must be drunk by sophisticated peeple who understand such imagery. However, if you're still scratching your head about this sign, it seems to be for Yellowglen sparkling wines..I [...]
Old Fashioned Aphrodisiac…Milk?
Photo Credit: Roadsidepictures Has your mother ever told you the real reason why you were born? It's because of milk... and great billboards like this from the 1960's.

Compare the size of the cars at the base of the sign to get a feel of how large this sign is. Incredibly, behind the sign is a building to which the sign is attached, covering most it. Maybe the [...]
Coca Cola billboard, Beijing China

In the centre is Chinese gold medalist athlete superstar, Liu Xiang who won the 100 metres atthe 2004 Atlanta Olympics. Coincidently, Atlanta is also [...]
