Billboard advertisement is something that is suppose to give you a memorable impression quickly. They leave you thinking about the message as you drive by. One of the billboards that really caught my attention were the mysterious "I Pooted" billboards. At first I was unsure what they were advertising (Cartoon Network) and so was the rest of America. I didn't really bother me that I didn't know what the advertisement was for, I just thought it was hilarious. Since the billboards got so much questioning, they later added cartoons from cartoon network, to clear the confusion. However I liked it with just those words, it caught my eye and thought it was very funny. Billboards that relate to things like abortion are very disturbing to me. Having the cute little babies smiling saying abortion is murder, really bothers me. I believe that matters like that should not be advertised on something as big as a billboard. Other billboard advertisement that is interesting to me are ones that have figures of three dimensions. An example of this are the Chick-Fil-A ads with actual plastic looking cows standing on the billboards or the iPod ads with the body of the person coming off the billboard listening to their ipod, like the commercials. I think these really get peoples attention when driving by. Billboard ads, like other types of advertising, can be even more controversial because the message is so large and is meant to be seen for miles. It is a very good way to get your opinion out into the world.
