Obama Billboards

Since our awesome collection of (mostly anti-) Bush billboards is suddenly very popular on the conservative circuit, and since we are so fair and balanced we are almost a Fox News subsidiary, here are some billboards featuring that other guy.

Being a president is a pretty sweet gig that shoots you up straight into the celebrity stratosphere, and you get casting calls to promote all sorts of things besides weatherproof jackets.



The big news of the day -- crowdsourced freedom of speech in shape of Billboards Against Obama (dot com). The Atlanta company sells nose jobs.





Their Missouri branch sells corrective ear surgery, birth certificates...




... and teeth whitening.




Folks in Louisiana behind this billboard should give Missouri a call.




A billboard selling agricultural tools, also in Missouri.




This billboard must be for hallucinogenic substances.




More substances, this time from an Indian restaurant.




We even fired up our DeLorean to bring you this billboard from the future.

Hey, if you liked (or totally hated) this post, subscribe to RSS or follow us on Twitter -- we have a lot more of this stuff coming.

Car Parked On a Wall

A brilliant in its simplicity solution to the parking problem in Holland as captured by Google's mapping satellites -- sideways vertical parking on walls. A real wall and a real car, even its lights come on.




Too bad the guy can't park; see how he's taking two spots?

Is Alfa Romeo's Billboard A Hoax? We Say Yes

Two out of three Billboardom experts agree this billboard is a hoax.

If you liked the series of underwater billboards, here's another one for you, via AgencySpy:  AlfaRomeo is viralling a video of its billboard being lowered into the Challenger Deep (wiki) in the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on Earth at some 11,000 meters (36,000 ft).

But is it real?  I don't think so. Jalopnik points out certain inconsistencies, but here's, I think, the real tell -- the rope.  There's no way for the 11,000 meters of rope to fit on the spool of the size shown in the video.  See for yourself with this handy spool capacity calculator. I'm assuming (generously) the 3mm fiber diameter, 20" for traverse, 10" for barrel, and 15" for flange. The most you can fit on the spool of that size is 3,577 meters, and the spool in the video isn't even full.
