Tampon "Cycle, Moto " Spoof Billboard



The Italian Spot Anatomy finds this Russian spoof of Motorola's Moto campaign in dubbio gusto. The billboard apparently promotes tampons and says, in Russian, "MOTO CYCLES" (the pun sort of works in English, too). Don't know if it's real of 'shopped, but will put an update if I find out anything.

Speaking of dubbio gusto, they also have this billboard for Axe:

"Skoda Parked Near Monument" Augmented Billboards



Ad Blog Arabia brings us this wonderful set of billboards for Skoda found in Prague. As they say, "The actual statue was covered from all sides by large billboards depicting.. well.. the statue, with the car added in.

We've seen billboards augmenting reality before: in this Amnesty campaign, and in Estonia, for example.

"Think of Your Sponsor" Locker Room Poster



A poster in a soccer locker room reads: "Important! Think of your sponsor under all circumstances." Right. Always keep your eye on the goal and your mind on the paycheck. Love the attitude.

Ubuntu Billboard



Nothing creative about execution of this billboard except for the fact that it promotes Ubuntu.
