I don't think there are billboards AND LED signs. All the Flikr and Youtube stuff refers to the light-up signs.

Look at interferenceinc's website, they do alternative advertising like the LED signs, plus what they call Lightsniping, projecting ads in odd places at odd times.

Sort of like viral ads on the web, they try to generate a secondary buzz based on surprise and coolness.

I'd like to hear the audio for the calls about the suspicious devices. Personally I would not find a glowy sign to be too suspect, unless it was massive or had a countdown timer.

Having seen what these things look like, I most likely would have thought "cool!"

Before I saw them, I imagined that they looked like IEDs, metal cylindrical things with wires, a timer, and batteries.

"I'd like to hear the audio for the calls about the suspicious devices."

Same here.

Okay, I was wondering because I've also posted a couple of times on another thread here where Turner Broadcasting used the words billboard which doesn't exactly describe the LED signs.

Yeah, I understand the viral ads as I've used them successfully in the past and I can easily translate that over to an IRL secondary buzz or real life viral ad.

I'd like to hear the audio for the calls about the suspicious devices. Personally I would not find a glowy sign to be too suspect, unless it was massive or had a countdown timer.

I wonder though, did the glowy signs glowy in the daytime. Hopefully by the time this all gets investigated we might find out who did the call-in about the "suspicious" devices. Hope it wasn't done by anyone affiliated with the ad campaign and was done by an olderly person like me.

Well, Personally... I think you are a really badly educated human being! Nobody gives a flying fartola about all of your high tech GIZMO SH@T!
We are a small city, full of MOONBATS who were likely the first ones to call it in!! They fear the day, it's ALL BUSH"S FAULT but why hasn't he SAVED us?
Oh .. the Horror..

I don't know... that horror!

Give me a break!
