If it’s so bizarre we’re not sure what else to do with it we’ll put it here.

It’s not bad, it’s not good, it’s just random strangeness. Coincidence or on purpose? Taken by Drew Newell near Farmington, New Mexico in 2006.

Don’t give teenagers alcohol, but if you do, it’s worth making it Bud Light.

Stole this from skateboard website Post 22. I’d like to think these two billboards were placed next to each other by mistake, because that would be funnier, but I’m starting to wonder if the beer billboard went up first and then the “don’t buy alcohol for teens” one. That wouldn’t be so funny. But what would we call it if the anti-teen-alcohol billboard first and then the beer one?

Missionary Mall / Brent Brown Automotive Group - Provo, Utah

So I’m driving south on I-15 in Provo, Utah when suddenly I look up and see the image on the right. “What the…?!” I think. As you know, when you’re driving you only have a second to process images and since you’re moving those images are often blurred. Imprinted on my mind was the image of…well, pretty much what you see, only it didn’t make sense. As I stared, I realized the offending portion of the billboard was due to something from the billboard on the opposite side, which is shown on the left.

Yes, sometimes it pays to know what’s going to be on the other side of the billboard you’re buying. Thanks to Cameron Moll who got the photos.

Note: Within a few days they switched the Brent Brown sign so that the guy was “bending” to the other side of the sign.
