10 Controversial Outdoor Advertising Billboards

We’re all used to unusual ads these days, no matter what the medium. But once in a while, something is so bizarre, so hilarious or just plain insulting, we can’t help but do a double take. Whether it’s PETA making obesity jokes or a mistress exposing her affair with a married man, check out the 10 most outrageous billboards we could find. [via]

Mistress Exposes Affair

Love hath no fury like a woman scorned, and YaVaughnie Wilkins proved it when she paid approximately $250,000 for billboards in New York, Atlanta and San Francisco revealing her eight-and-a-half-year affair with married Oracle CEO and Obama advisor Charles Phillips. Apparently the billboards were her revenge after he reconciled with his wife. She even created a website—which was allegedly full of photos, love notes and other evidence of the affair—that has since been taken down. Photo by Jen Gallardo.

Though We can appreciate Gabriel Dawe's beautiful thread art by just looking at these pictures, we're certain that these photos will never quite do them justice. In fact, we can imagine ourselves walking around these rainbow prisms and just getting lost. I asked Dawe to tell us what he hoped others got out of his artwork including what they represent. [via]

What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.

A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.

A Jalopnik reader took this picture of the crazy snow situation in Chicago right now. Yes, that's cars stuck on the highway.

Suffice to say, if this were happening in New York, it's all the media would be talking about. As it is, it's in flyover country, so we haven't heard much about it.

How the rest of the world sees America [pics]

I always love how people from any other countries view Americans. They see a talk show and think to themselves hmm is this how americans act? It must be true if they are on TV acting like this. What most foreigners don't know is that 95% of the people that live in the United States do not live like this, and that most of us do not watch these crap shows. I digress. Pics after the jump....Enjoy the humor...

Funny collection of Lock Fails [pics]

For your amusement, we present a selection of images that highlight the average simpleton’s apparent inability to summon the common sense necessary when securing property with a lock. If you’re in any way similar to us, looking at each and every example will result in a short burst of laughter, quickly followed by a painlessly brief period of depression as the perpetrator’s confused (or not, depending on the severity of his/her idiocy) face is imagined. It’s also worth remembering as you wipe the lone tear from your cheek that this is but a tiny snapshot of a problem that will continue to plague the land for as long as simpletons, locks and personal property exist. (Should you happen to be one of those simpletons: Look @ these lock fails LOL.)
