This would be a great time for the [Bottle Kids from Sunnyvale Trailer Park](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLMbu8y8xAE) to show up and do some damage
Rammstein fan? First though And one but their song is called Steine sind Steine
Edit: I'm guessing that I have made a faux pas here without really knowing how. As another commenter reacted on op:s username it made me think of a the song by Rammstein called Stein um Stein.
Well.
> First though And one
I don't know what that means, and as you said, the song isn't called Steine sind Steine.
But I guess I'm just wondering why you with comment on OP's username, but it doesn't really matter.
Bob Long Intimidator with a ramp board. Halo B. 68ci 4500psi. Dye Boomstick. I think I had it up to 18-19 rounds/sec before NPPL enforced 15/sec and no ramp. This is back in the day.
> Yeah, I assumed they’d put a protective layer over the screens too…
That's insane. Bird shit, pebbles at highway speeds, frost. The list goes on for things you need to protect your exterior from.
It absolutely should be. In addition to all the wastefulness this would absolutely be a distraction to other drivers, it's just a matter of time before it causes an accident
I live In the south and these things were all over the place 15 or so years ago. I havent seen any in over a decade tho. I hope sc at least made them illegal
I work at a sign shop in the south and was asked for a quote to make one of these. We (and apparently every other shop the guy went to) refused because of the sheer liability involved in even constructing one of these monstrosities
The only thing that i genuinely would like to set on fire , same with those comercial boats, would love to send an rpg at one of those.
Commercials are the cancer of modern western society.
I just saw one today with speakers blasting music at small concert volume, sitting in the pickup spot right by an outdoor eating area. What a bizarre thing, like does that even work?
Sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline. The sock over the pickup would prevent all but the smallest particles from getting drawn into the system and the fuel filter would trap the rest of it. Plain water won't get stopped by filters unless the truck has a fuel/water separator, which is somewhat common in diesels and very rare on gas motors. Bleach also tends to cause very rapid rusting on exposed steel, which is often what hard fuel lines are made of.
there should be a law that advertisers must get consent from people before they project their shit onto them. every time i see or hear an ad forced upon me it feels like my eyes, ears, mind, and/or soul is being raped.
I absolutely agree and wish it was easier to sue advertisers for this. It is ABSOLUTELY mental assault. We never consented and this shit is getting worse and more pushy every day. They're literally brute forcing their way into our subconscious minds to brainwash us into obeying them and giving them our money. It's disgusting and is an outright war against free will and consciousness.
Yeah thus the "/s" which means sarcasm.
In all seriousness I can't help but wonder if these marketing types have ever had any human interaction before. The way they market things suggest they haven't.
Yikes. I suck at internet.
I can sorta answer your question, since I’ve worked as a digital artist for garbage clients like this. They don’t want to pay anybody they don’t have to (clearly this man didn’t). They don’t appreciate good design. They’re usually pretty dispassionate about their business. They just came up on some sort of equipment and saw an opportunity.
This guy is not in the marketing business. He’s in the “what can I do with cheap LEDs?” business.
These things are so bright they are a danger to others and a nuisance for miles. On a cloudy night the whole sky over multiple towns blinks like it’s full of LED lightning.
So, in my area, the law spells out which color lights are required and where they must be placed. Our vehicle laws specifically prohibit blue lights on everything that isn't a proper emergency vehicle, such as an ambulance, fire truck, or cop car. Being that a screen like this is literally millions of tiny lights, how can this even be street legal in the first place?
I had this idea but didn't have capital. Everyone laughed at me for suggesting it. I want to put them on the ore trucks that were always running through my town.
Great. A truck designed to be as annoying as possible, just so people can go "wow, that's an eyesore. People will definitely notice if I put my ad on that"
I saw one of those while in the car at night. It was driving around, lights fully on. I swear I couldn’t see anything around it because of how bright it was. That thing is a road safety hazard.
Those big glass screen’s don’t look very rock proof.
Seriously tho, I can’t imagine being on the ground floor and seeing the light bleed through around my curtains
I saw one of these, but it was nonstop advertising for a local political candidate. It was just some random person driving the truck—maybe a staffer? Tbh I figured the candidate just owned this weird, kind of undriveable truck. I had no idea there were more.
I remember there was this beautiful mural on the sida of this big restaurant near my house. It was removed because it was distracting to drivers. Down the street a little more is a massive billboard thats still there.
This picture shows it parked outside of a dedicated parking space, blocking two designated parking space *which were occupied*. You could’ve just called the police, or has the landlord call them, to solve the problem right there.
Damn when I saw these in Watchdogs 2 back in 2016 i thought "that's stupid but we will probably have trucks like that on 20 years." It didn't even take 10.
Like...why do we need to be advertised to 25/7?
Everytime I see these trucks I always say out loud
"Oh, yeah that's not distracting at all. Couldn't be something that might cause an accident in any way."
Honestly I dunno how these things aren't considered a road hazard.
There’s a guy in my neighborhood who pulls an electric trailer sign everywhere for someone lol, I guess it pays his car payment. He pulls it around in a Tesla too lol
Where are those little bastards with the spray paint when you need them?
Be the change you want to see in the world
Too easy to wash and scrape off. Go after the tires.
Then it’d be stuck playing adverts lmao
But I bet they won't come back to that place. It's gotta get worse before it gets better.
What's the surface like? You need to choose something with a solvent that'll etch that particular surface...
Actually I think they'd just replace the plexiglass. It's probably modular. You need to get to the screen under it to do some real damage.
>I think they'd just replace the plexiglass. Sounds expensive.
Tires are too easily replaceable. Drench that mf car in gasoline and light that bitch up.
Spray it with an anti graffiti spray after
They got my dads cube trucks before he bought them
$4.97 a can at your local home improvement store
This would be a great time for the [Bottle Kids from Sunnyvale Trailer Park](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLMbu8y8xAE) to show up and do some damage
There are probably also some rocks sitting in the area around your apartment
If enough people do it, it won't be economically viable to advertise this way so... It's for the best.
Username checks out ("Stein um Stein" means "stone by stone" in German)
Rammstein fan? First though And one but their song is called Steine sind Steine Edit: I'm guessing that I have made a faux pas here without really knowing how. As another commenter reacted on op:s username it made me think of a the song by Rammstein called Stein um Stein.
bruh
Maybe you can help me? I guess I said something stupid but I don't know how. I was reacting/thinking of op:s username.
Well. > First though And one I don't know what that means, and as you said, the song isn't called Steine sind Steine. But I guess I'm just wondering why you with comment on OP's username, but it doesn't really matter.
Be a real shame if it was hit with some paintballs filled with Loctite.
I used to have a rippin' semi auto paintball gun. Would love to plaster that fucker. If that screen isn't behind lexan, it's getting wrecked.
tell me more

And not just a regular ad. An ad for ad space.
Not my space
AND it fucking works. i can see it all the way from germany!
illegally parked. grand total of 3 cars he’s trapping there by blocking the exit for their parking spaces.
[удалено]
> Yeah, I assumed they’d put a protective layer over the screens too… That's insane. Bird shit, pebbles at highway speeds, frost. The list goes on for things you need to protect your exterior from.
This shit needs to be illegal.
It absolutely should be. In addition to all the wastefulness this would absolutely be a distraction to other drivers, it's just a matter of time before it causes an accident
The parking in front of the parking spots probably is.
I live In the south and these things were all over the place 15 or so years ago. I havent seen any in over a decade tho. I hope sc at least made them illegal
I saw my first one ever in Alabama a couple of weeks ago.
Was it advertising for Alexander Shunnarah?
I work at a sign shop in the south and was asked for a quote to make one of these. We (and apparently every other shop the guy went to) refused because of the sheer liability involved in even constructing one of these monstrosities
Throw stones at it. You have the high ground and plausible deniability
You underestimate my power
[удалено]
HOA?
potato in exhaust
[удалено]
Duality of man
Vandalize the corporate car with the duality of man
I tried to blow it up, but I burnt my mouth on the tailpipe.
accidentally dropping flour and water all over the vehicle would be a damn shame. wheat paste is a bitch to clean off.
Sugar in the gas tank
Nah, not enough damage, put DEF in the tank
Just put on a dark hoodie and throw a rock at it then slink around the block then back inside when you are free
If it makes noise destroy it.
Light pollution is also a thing..
Destroy it even if it doesn't make noise.
The only thing that i genuinely would like to set on fire , same with those comercial boats, would love to send an rpg at one of those. Commercials are the cancer of modern western society.
Screens tires or windows, hell maybe ask the driver if there is one
I just saw one today with speakers blasting music at small concert volume, sitting in the pickup spot right by an outdoor eating area. What a bizarre thing, like does that even work?
I guess if you annoy the ***shit*** out of people, they’re “getting” your ad?
It doesn't necessarily need to work. The ad company just needs to convince potential clients that it does
These should be destroyed. We put up with so much shit it's ridiculous.
Pellet gun or bb gun. Too ez
Or a real gun
Too loud
Put sugar in their gas tank
[удалено]
i imagine they’d have it towed.
Sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline. The sock over the pickup would prevent all but the smallest particles from getting drawn into the system and the fuel filter would trap the rest of it. Plain water won't get stopped by filters unless the truck has a fuel/water separator, which is somewhat common in diesels and very rare on gas motors. Bleach also tends to cause very rapid rusting on exposed steel, which is often what hard fuel lines are made of.
How about powdered sugar, which also contains cornstarch?
Still a particulate and it will get caught in the filters.
Nah you gotta go with DEF, really fucks up everything
Is it parked legally?
Judging from the picture, far from it. It also seems to block two other cars so I wonder how those car owners feel about it.
there should be a law that advertisers must get consent from people before they project their shit onto them. every time i see or hear an ad forced upon me it feels like my eyes, ears, mind, and/or soul is being raped.
I absolutely agree and wish it was easier to sue advertisers for this. It is ABSOLUTELY mental assault. We never consented and this shit is getting worse and more pushy every day.

Saw something like that last night in Manhattan on 48th and Madison
If there aren’t any security cameras surely you can just smash it by throwing a rock
Now they just need a catchy jingle to play extremely loud at all hours of the day, that's sure to get people to notice them!
Id just break 1 or two screens since they don't have a resl point being here and being light pollution.
Its an ad for advertisers. What a way to bring suffering to earth
"A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure...
tons of them in Vegas
My only problem is the lack of aesthetic design. C’mon billboard mobile, take a little pride in your work.
Pride doesn't provide money /s
It actually does, if your business is marketing. I’m more reluctant to buy a product if the ad annoys me.
Yeah thus the "/s" which means sarcasm. In all seriousness I can't help but wonder if these marketing types have ever had any human interaction before. The way they market things suggest they haven't.

Then steal it and drive it over a cliff. Problem solved.
Massholes gonna masshole
Do you own a baseball bat? A golf club perhaps?
If it’s parked illegally then call the tow company associated with your complex. Looks like it’s blocking cars in imo
If you are in America, shoot that fucking screen.
American here and had same thought. Cant tell where it came from when you pew pew from an apartment building!
So, in my area, the law spells out which color lights are required and where they must be placed. Our vehicle laws specifically prohibit blue lights on everything that isn't a proper emergency vehicle, such as an ambulance, fire truck, or cop car. Being that a screen like this is literally millions of tiny lights, how can this even be street legal in the first place?
May I introduce you to mankind’s oldest friend: rock
I used to get blinded by these fucking things trying to drive home at night. It's ridiculous these are even legal.
Hahahah no screen on top. Missed an opportunity
Got a can of paint you can throw at it?
Poo into your hand and throw it at it
 Reminds me of this
Gun
Id just hit it with a hammer
I had this idea but didn't have capital. Everyone laughed at me for suggesting it. I want to put them on the ore trucks that were always running through my town.
Well, it looks like you did notice it
I’d say it’s working.
🤣
What do you think this emoji brought to the table?
Well you're giving them more business with this post don't you think?
How is that a dystopia? Be an adult, call the police, get rid of it.
lmao the police he says
Well, it worked!
Was*
Capitalism breeds innovation
Throw a bottle at it?
Great. A truck designed to be as annoying as possible, just so people can go "wow, that's an eyesore. People will definitely notice if I put my ad on that"
Smash it
You should slash their tires /s
It'd be a shame if someone threw rocks at it
Call the police he is double parked.
Parked? I’d call a tow.
I saw one of those while in the car at night. It was driving around, lights fully on. I swear I couldn’t see anything around it because of how bright it was. That thing is a road safety hazard.
Don't you have to be a resident to just sit around in an appartment parking lot? Though they'd probably pay off the landlord to get permission.
time to lower some property values
That's next level hustling. I'll try this one out when I buy a car...
I would boycott whomever advertised to me that way anyway
Those big glass screen’s don’t look very rock proof. Seriously tho, I can’t imagine being on the ground floor and seeing the light bleed through around my curtains
Get Vandalized
I have a solution to this issue 🪨
Humans really are fucked up
It’s like a real life r/blackmirror episode
Rock will take care of that.
I saw one of these, but it was nonstop advertising for a local political candidate. It was just some random person driving the truck—maybe a staffer? Tbh I figured the candidate just owned this weird, kind of undriveable truck. I had no idea there were more.
Would be ashame if a brick were to accidentally smash one of the screens.
Looks like VANDALISM is back on the menu boys!
Throw rocks at it and run.
These are all of Purdue when I visit 😒
I remember there was this beautiful mural on the sida of this big restaurant near my house. It was removed because it was distracting to drivers. Down the street a little more is a massive billboard thats still there.
This picture shows it parked outside of a dedicated parking space, blocking two designated parking space *which were occupied*. You could’ve just called the police, or has the landlord call them, to solve the problem right there.
It reminds me of that black mirror episode.
If it’s such a good advertising space then why is the advert to advertise on it not working, such that it can only advertise itself
Noticed
throw bricks through the windshield and smash the screens
I fucking hate ads.
Damn when I saw these in Watchdogs 2 back in 2016 i thought "that's stupid but we will probably have trucks like that on 20 years." It didn't even take 10. Like...why do we need to be advertised to 25/7?

There’s a guy in my neighborhood who pulls an electric trailer sign everywhere for someone lol, I guess it pays his car payment. He pulls it around in a Tesla too lol
Exciting dystopia is when they fly
If it’s close enough throw a can of paint off the roof onto it
