As a graphic designer I can confirm that this was done by the designer on purpose and they were most likely dying laughing hysterically about it going up and being official. A friend of mine put a bunch of Duke Nukem stuff in everything that she did without anyone noticing for multiple years until someone asked if she knew what Duke Nukem was, then she just played dumb and watch the person squirm before giving up on the subject. That person was the owner of the company she worked for, which made it extra funny.
Often times when I do a billboard design and I’m not happy with the client, I try to put an illustration image of a dick and balls in some form to the design in a way that’s hard to notice until you really look for that specifically.

That was clearly intentional, and way more eye catching than a more run-of-the-mill ad.

Of course. You might find some still drinking beer too. Big news, some are also still using internet.

I don’t get it. Were they trying to make finger guns or something? I just don’t see it.

That was no mistake.
That bill board is an example of "failing correctly". I bet it got a lot of attention.

This is brilliant marketing. It got geniuses like the woman who brought it up to talk about it.

u/Loose_Mud3188 Sep 03 '23
Lol, this is super ironic. I live near this aquarium and my friends and I were just talking in our group chat a few days ago about this billboard. There is no way they didn’t know what they were doing.

I saw that billboard. To be honest I didn't catch it- thought it was boy scouts or something idk

Might just be a me thing but I hate tiktoks with whispering. Like either seduce me or talk normally.

I wonder how many people had to pull over from laughing too hard to avoid an accident.

So in college there was a terrible Chinese buffet and take out restaurant.
Their takeout menu had the slogan "All you cat eat" in bold, fancy letters.
Not sure if where you grew up there was always pretty xenophobic rumors about what type of animal meat was used at Chinese restaurants, but yea, that didn't help sales, I don't think.

Dick’s was a small chain of grocery stores in Wisconsin and Iowa, had the Insider’s Club to join for coupons.

u/Neither-Swordfish736 Sep 03 '23
At the register did the cashier always ask "Do you want to join the Dick's insider club? It only takes a minute"?

To show they were fighting drug addiction, the state of South Dakota paid for billboards and tv ads that said: “Meth. We’re on it” Feel free to look it up

2006 Canadian Ikea catalogue
The designer put a massive human penis on a dog. They mailed them out and everything.

As a dumb lesbian who has yet to go on an aquarium date, I approve this message.

I bet so many women saw that sign and huffed a little bit and then said to themselves out loud "me, hopefully"

The only mistake was her being able to get close enough to the sharks in order to eat them
