Carlton Draught Beer Gets Fresh
Spotted in Perth, Australia. "Fresher than a hot towel at a Chinese restaurant." I always thought beer was fresh when coming straight from the tap at the local pub.. but only now has Carlton Draught addressed this unmet need for beer drinkers. Also I'm guessing this billboard aimed at Aussie guys with Chinese/Asian girlfriends. A night out [...]
Devil Gets Done Over At Local Church
Photo Credit: mtsofan (Flickr) I'm not sure if this is an advertisement or a warning sign.

Whilst the billboard itself seems a little odd with some guy shooting an object with a tank, it's all of a part of the wider promotion by Carlton that includes several television commercials of guys dreaming up crazy things to do, such as: Rubber [...]
Good Old Fashioned Banking Returns to Albuquerque
Photo Credit: cjc4454 (Flickr) This billboard for the Bank of Albuquerque was spotted in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA in April 2009. As pointed out by the photographer... Bank of Albuquerque is doing a complete turn around in banking services... opposite to what most other banks are doing by promoting itself to older clients who [...]

The billboard belongs to used car dealer, Ron Tonkin Automotive who appears to be very passionate about his cars. Ron has replaced Cupids arrows with ignition keys, which lead to the catch phrase: "The car you love is just a click away". Unfortunately, [...]
