Those Mobile Billboard Trucks are Back on Market Street – Clogging Traffic, Blocking the Box – Why Your MUNI Bus is Slow

Wednesday, September 19th, 2012

I don’t know, if I wanted to create gridlock in SoMA / Financial / Union Square, I think I’d hire some jackasses to drive “mobile billboards” around the block and around the block all day long. 

“Blocking the box” yesterday with a mobile billboard truck in the middle of the intersection of 3rd Street and Market:

“Hey everybody! Stop everything and look at me!”

Reverse angle – now the driver is only blocking one lane of 3rd Street:

Note the Washington state license plates.

And here’s the result of the advertising trucks. Gridlock:

Oh well.

“Blocking the box” is illegal these days, but the SFPD doesn’t really hand out tickets for that, so have at it.

Now I’ll tell you, Lyft taxi, a service that you just might like, isn’t legal, but mobile billboards, a “service” that you don’t like, are legal, more or less.

Isn’t it ironic?

Don’t cha think?

I’m just sayin’

Matt Cain Giant Audi Billboard Evolution: From Striking Out Competition to PERFECTION to Visit My Friends

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

Now see here, this is the way things used to be at Geary and Masonic, right near the deadly Masonic Trader Joe’s gro sto.

See? This ad from last year was horrible:

Then the local Audi people got rid of that billboard because the Giants were no longer champs.

But then, Matt Cain pitched his perfect game earlier this year, so up went a new ad:

It was much better, non? 

But now we’re back to this:

Now, does Matt Cain really have friends at Audi San Francisco?

I don’t think so.

And, think about it, does anybody really need an Audi?

I don’t think so.

Oh well.

In closing, Cain!

The SFPD Union Wants More Money for San Francisco Cops, So Here Come the Billboards and YouTube Videos

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012

Here’s the big brand-new billboard from the San Francisco Police Officers Association. See?

You can check it out it at the Masonic Trader Joe’s from atop the Geary Tunnel:

Now I think the SFPOA’s old slogan was “Double Dipping 4 Ever – It’s Our Way of Life.” But, as you can see, it’s now, “THEY WORK TO MAKE YOUR DAY.”

Get it? “Make your day?” I get it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!. You so cray-cray Gary Delagnes! (But hey Gare-Bear, do the Warner Brothers know what you’re doing with their Dirty Harry catchphrase? Just asking, Bro.)

Anywho, here it is on the YouTube. I think it’s entitled “More Money for Us, Less Money for You.”

What’s coming up next week from this campaign? These are my guesses:

“Here are six different reasons why Public Defender Jeff Adachi totally sucks.”

or

“Give us more money or everybody dies.”

All right, SFPD. Get out there and Make My Day!

Worst Local Billboard Ad of 2011: Royal Motor Sales’ “We Strike Out Competition Like San Francisco Champs”

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Is this a way to sort of ride along on the Giants winning the World Series last year?

“We Strike Out Competition Like San Francisco Champs”

(It helps to say the phrase as if you were Yakov “Smirnoff” or Boris Badenov. Otherwise, it’s hard for me to say it.)

Also, Audis are kind of expensive for what you get, right? Please do something about that, RoyalMotorSales.

I mean, isn’t $133K kind of expensive for an A8 sedan, you know, in light of what the car is like?
