Amazing billboards from around the world

Was that my Ad?

The mysterious yellowglen billboard

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 think.

I No bored Wellington Please

Spotted in Wellington New Zealand.

Zap Pest and Hygiene Services have put up this clever billboard. Every several days new holes are drilled into the sign giving the impression borers are hard at work by eating the sign. This will continue until eventually there is virtually nothing left of the sign. I wish we had time lapse photography of that.

Nice one bro!

Hopenhagen in Copenhagen

Spotted in Copenhagen, Denmark.

With the Copenhagen climate change conference in full swing December 7 – 18, this giant billboard was erected for the hopenhagen.org website. Be sure to sign the petition there, ok.

But the conference might be too little too late… a giant iceberg 19km long has broken off the antarctic ice shelf and is threatening to crash into the Australian coastline.  But then again, maybe some beer pirates have hijacked an iceberg as part of Carlton’s  ”Have you ever had a Dry Dream?” campaign.icebergs are coming

Scott Cam Gets Gritty

 

Scott Cam billboard Sex and the Gritty

True grit. Scott Cam.

All round Aussie good bloke Scott Cam demonstrates the real Aussie male image. Strong, mature, self employed and part time promotion worker. Scott shows that regular Aussie blokes can succeed in this difficult world with persistence and hard work… all with your pants on. Jamie Durie, who’s laughing now! Go Scotty! yeaah

Now, what’s this billboard about again?

Old Fashioned Aphrodisiac…Milk?

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.

Check this billboard from the 1960′s for Oak Farms Milk and 7 Eleven stores. Oh Lordy, sweet mumma.., milk can do that? Perhaps by today’s standards it would be classified in the seriously corny catergory …Presumably people bought more milk to get more loving. Oh well, it still works on me.

What would the 2010 version be of this?

Tao Nightclub Las Vegas

If you’ve grown tired of gambling in Las Vegas (oh my god!) then the TAO nightclub is the place to be. Just nip in (or Nippon) for a quick prayer.

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 at Chinese restaurant then the pub.

Devil Gets Done Over At Local Church

I’m not sure if this is an advertisement or a warning sign. The Pocono Community Church( Tobyhanna, PA) seems to have done what no other church can do and swindle Satan. Details are a little sketchy, perhaps it was some sort of numbers game that the devil lost out on. Bingo.

God help mere mortals who step foot in there on Sundays.

Motorola Droid billboard

As competition in the smartphone builds up, Motorola’s latest smartphone the Droid, uses the catch phrase “Droid Does” as part of its advertising campaign, no doubt with major competitor the Apple iPhone in mind. Motorola has teamed up with Verizon and Google to produce this Android based smartphone clearly aimed at the geeky and tech savvy users.

Thin Condoms for Oz

Australian manufacturer of all things rubber Ansell, has recently put up these billboards for Zero Condoms around Australia. This one was spotted in Brisbane, however I’ve seen one in Perth as well. With all the innuendo catchphrases possible for such product, Ansell’s approach is simple,upfront and nothing funny at all. The three words say it all.
