It's an interactive billboard. You can vote what you think is the correct answer by SMS.

This whole series is great. Very smart use of media and good choice of topics. Every topic shown is something that's going to generate discussion, prolong the amount of time people spend with the message and get the number of votes changing regularly on both sides. So people who've seen it, will look again and again to see how many more people agree with their opinion and how many disagree. Very nice.

Disco Munky's picture 3839 pencils

These are very nice.

Using a constantly changing (kind of) billboard to talk about current events. Sweet.

This will probably have people tuning into BBC just to find out if they're really right or wrong depending on the numbers.

Very nice

I think this is a much smarter use of an interactive billboard than say the Mini billboard which says "Hi Tom" when you drive by.

Its a pet peev of mine that the media is generally unaware that the Army and Marine Corp have changed their camouflage patterns, rendering this photo and many other images outdated.

Spanky's picture 2023 pencils

maybe the military had to use old uniforms. the new ones had holes in them.

edison500's picture 16 pencils

Was that meant to be humor or was it serious? Because either way it fails.

Spanky's picture 2023 pencils

it's more satire than anything else. although your opinion of its success concerns me greatly. (that's sarcasm in case you have to ask.)

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

Oh yeah for sure.

Soldiers are just doing their jobs, its not their fault, its the people who sent them there, monkey boy and his sycophantic sidekick.

justpassingby's picture 1369 pencils

"did we occupied Japan"
can you speak your own language?

Disco Munky's picture 3839 pencils

what?

"look at Japan are we occupier?"

"did we occupied Japan?"

"Vietnam"? (You lost that one by the way- nice going.)

You making things said in you mouth bad time big?...come on people. Thank you?

addyhoch10's picture 2603 pencils

sorry pixel, i have to disagree.
1.) yes, the US occupied japan, germany, the philippines
2.) the US lost the war in nam so it was beyond question to occupy it.

i'd vote for both liberator and occupier (or for none of the two)
