Government Ads on Traffic Light Buttons
Don't know if they are real, but Adpunch says these are "government sponsored guerilla advertising campaign undertaken in London to garner public support on government policies in the U.K." Would love it if they were real.
"Drowned Child" Underwater Ad
This ad on the bottom of a swimming pool showing a drowned child almost tops this decal of a dead woman. Love the look on the kid's face.

Giant iPod Billboard for Magazine
I am sure this one has been posted before but couldn't find it so there. This 25 ft. iPod promotes Columbus Aliva magazine and plays music by local musicians. It's powered by a real iPod nano. Here's the playlist.
-- MacDailyNews; thank you, Elise

A couple of unrelated campaigns to fight homelessness from Invisible Red. Wonder if people tune out of the ads that are too scary, and whether it's too hard to create a more positive but an equally powerful execution.

Just as the titles says, this is a poster for the movie Lord of War with some convincing bullet holes. Sao Paolo, Brazil.
