I feel like digital billboards have made stuff like this less fun, if only slightly. The investment and energy required to pay for people to climb way the fuck up on a billboard and paint or glue or stretch, or whatever the fuck people actually do with "normal" billboards makes it all feel a little more delightfully unhinged.
Due to JPEGification, I'm only about 75% sure this is a digital billboard, now that I think about it.
Plus you have to commit to a year long contract for a standard billboard.
It's not cheap, but it's not absurd to rent a billboard in a more rural area. You could probably do this for less than $2000, maybe a lot less of you know someone at the company.
I am, however, deprived of the mental image of a crew shaking their heads in disgust that this is the dumb shit that have to put up, LOL.
If I still lived in a small town this would absolutely be worth it.
Who the hell has fuckaround money with this inflation? That said, this is friendship gold.
The person with an 80k truck pulling a 30k boat with 10k of electronics and 5k of gear can afford a billboard for a month for a good joke.
Years ago when I was a kid, there was a billboard on the edge of the bigger city we'd do our shopping in some dude put up to find a girlfriend.
One day the billboard was gone. We assumed the dude got a girlfriend. But then 2 months later, there was a new girlfriend billboard lol
This kind of thing is funniest when you imagine the guy driving home and being completely bewildered about why he's on a billboard.
I read a similar story recently about a guy targeting his roommate with highly specific Facebook ads, let me.see if I can find it.
Edit: Here it is, it's a fun read
It was a fun read! Thanks!
Haha! That's hilarious. They sound like the type of people who make incredibly fun friends.
