compl3x Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Long story short: Ultra Orthodox men in Bnei Brak, an Israeli city, aren't too fond of seeing images of women dressed "immodestly". Apparently, they have a bit of a reputation of vandalising any billboards or imagery they find offensive. A clever ad agency anticipated the vandalism and created this brilliant billboard: This is how the Billboard looks when it was first installed: This is what the billboard revealed after it was vandalised: For those of us who cannot read Hebrew, the text reads: International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 25.11.13 How do you say checkmate in Hebrew? :woot: This could be a stunt. But I like to think of the zealots face when they damage the billboard only to find that message underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compl3x Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 I don't know if they carry around spray paint. Anyway, they might not be opposed to eliminating violence against women, it more underscores their fanatical response to "offensive" imagery.

zhangm Supervisor Posted November 30, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted November 30, 2013 It looks to me like the billboard was still defaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeMaster Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Kinda clever, but they'll probably vandalise the hidden message as well, so it seems like a wasted effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
