This is very cool, and for our blog, its nice to see digital uses of media that impact such old media as print (first mass media channel out of 7) and one of its more "forgotten" parts, the outdoor billboard advertising.
John Herman at Gizmodo reports of a bus stop ad in Hamburg Germany, about stopping family abuse. It uses very clever technology, so that the advertisement image changes, when you look away, and look back at the ad. When you look at it, the ad shows a couple smiling. When you look away, the man is beating up the wife. Spooky, eerie, weird, but am sure, compelling ad about a very serious subject. And very cool high-tech geeky way to generate attention - and they have built-in a slight delay, so you just have time to notice the ad changed as you turn to watch it, or turn away. I'd love to see it for real to get the full impact, but this is cool. Go see it (with before and after pictures) at Gizmodo.
An interesting gizmo's site with indepth knowledge of what all is happening around us in context to technology which is touching our lives every now and then in some or the other way. A must read blog for every tech-savvy person.

I agree with the above commentor. This is very creative and other bill board advertisers will likely follow suit. As for me, I still prefer online advertising with http://www.adwido.com and other Internet advertising mediums.
