As if our collective obsession with boobs weren't big enough, Wonderbra, bless their horndog souls, have made it even bigger. The obsession and the boobs. Touting the new two-cup-size-boosting Full Effect WonderBra, a 3D billboard in London, which requires special 3-DD (ha,ha) glasses to view, makes Brazilian model Sabraine Banando's already largish breasts even more bulgingly pulchritudinous.
We get the concept but we're not really sure why people would don 3D glasses in public to enjoying staring at boobs on a billboard when they can stare at a whole lot more online and "enjoy" things without fear of being labeled a pervert.

To promote what assuredly will be a piece of crap movie, Sony is out with a billboard campaign which asks, "Still A Virgin?" The movie is called The Viginity Hit and the boards offer an 800 number to call which leads to simple choices such as "press three if you don't know if you're a virgin or not."
While a help line for virgins might be a bit strange, it dovetails perfectly with the premise of the movie. Three guys spend the entire movie trying to get their friend laid...and film it when it happens. Don't we have enough of that crap all over the internet already?
Stranger things have happened though. The film cost $2 million to make so it's a forgone conclusion it will definitely make some money for Sony. And who knows. It would be a sleeper hit like American Pie. Hey, we're just keeping our "we told you so" options open here.

It's a big move or the leading (yea, Facebook hasn't toppled it yet) location-based check in service and one that was certainly some kind of barter between the two companies.
Foursquare business development Head Tristan WalkerTristan Walker said American Eagle owns the billboard which is said to be the largest digital billboard in Times Square, but wouldn't say how the deal was structured though he did hint a version 2 is in the works.
The board urges people to "Check in. Find your friends. Unlock your city."
In early July, Foursquare competitor Gowalla erected a board atop a 20 story building near Madison Square Garden at 34th and 8th. The board features New Jersey Nets owners Mikhail Prokhorov and Jay-Z.

This week, Londoners were treated to a gigantic billboard on which a naked Kelly Brooke illustrated how Reebok EasyTone sneakers will make anyone's ass look as good as hers. Seriously. That's all it takes. A pair of sneakers. And you'll have an ass as fine as Kelly's. Genetics are irrelevant.
It would seem Levi's is testing a new mechanical billboard in New York. Adrants reader Floyd Hayes sent us this video of the board which he guesses will ultimately spell out "We're All in This Together."
It's an interesting execution. Nothing stunningly new but if the mechanics end up spelling out different phrases with the same mechanical wheels, that would be kinda cool. Video after the jump.

If you have kids - or even if you don't - do you ever get sick of them running around the airport screaming and yelling while you're quietly trying to catch a little shut eye before the next leg of your journey? Well, this new work from TDA Advertising & Design for Colorado's FirstBank may not help but at least it will keep the screaming kids all in one place.
The latest addition to the bank's ongoing "We're here to help" campaign turns an out-of-home display unit into a children's circular treadmill. At the Denver International Airport, a plexiglass rotating signboard is headlined, "Tire your kids out so they sleep on the plane." Kid-sized handprints appear three-and-a-half feet above the floor, and, above them, the instructions, "Have children place hand here." The signboard makes one revolution every 30 seconds.
Thanks for corralling the kids, FirstBank. Now can you encase the whole thing in a soundproof room?
Seattle-based agency Creature has launched a new campaign called Citywise for the City University of Seattle. The campaign touts the school's philosophy which is said to encompass a "unique blend of experiences, both in and out of the classroom." It consists of billboards, light rail and bus wraps, coffee sleeves, gas stations and radio ads which rely on the context of the medium's surrounding to impart wisdom. Taglines include:
"Game theory: when you decide to walk to the next bus stop rather than wait."
"The water you're about to cross powers this city's buses"
"Education comes from all angles. Be Citywise."
"Where you sit on the bus says something about your personality."
"Reading is the most velocious way to ameliorate your vocabulary."
"Those napping on this bus are enhancing mental performance."
So is Cleveland-based Brokaw Advertising.
