Billboards that caught your attention?

Recommended Posts

Well, how about it? Any billboards with advertisements or slogans that caught your attention?

Here's a couple to start with:

"A reminder about digging near power lines - DON'T"

And...

"Don't make me come down there - God"

That's just in downtown Birmingham, AL... :D

Anybody got any they want to share?

My company prints billboards all day long (we are a large format printer)... I will have to make some screen grabs of a few of the funnier ones that are real boards and not works of photo shop.

There are some disgusting ones as well... PETA prints some screwed up shiat... We just did one with a bloody sheeps butt... I couldnt help but think of Clay!!!

Maybe I can work some magic and print some large banners for Dublin...

Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Do signs outside of a business count?

I once saw on the sign outside of a radiator repair place....

"Mr. Radiator, a nice place to take a leak"

Here's one that cost the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas about 1/2 million in fines. It was posted during the Nationals Final Rodeo event a year ago. In case you can't read it clearly, it says "Get ready to buck all night". I thought it was cute!

Hi Billy,
Anyone remember driving to Ghoulidge in the early 80's?? (try to think thru the purple haze!!!) A few miles up from the DZ along side one of those cotton fields was a billboard for some bowlwevil insecticide called "Pounce" and the billboard said "Pounce on cotton insects!" "Someone with the help of some paint, converted the "P" in Pounce into a "B" making it say,"Bounce on cotton (insects). Had to be a skydivers' influence there!!

PS. Got a foto of it somewhere in the archives, now to find it!!

Also one for the really old skydiving set, there was a Camel cigarette commercial back in the early 60's with world champ (Style and Accuracy) Jim Arender,"The man most likely to fall a mile for a Camel!!" Jim's likeness was on a Billboard up on some building in NYC for Camel cigs. and every few seconds his mouth would blow a hugh smoke ring accross 5th ave.!!!!!!!! Photo was in Parachutist (camera's eye) back then. Gotta dig into the archives for that one too.

Anyone else "remember" these two boards??
