I'm so glad someone else is complaining about this. I have to see this pale thumb sucker like 3 times every weekday. Who thought that was a good ad? How is his skin the same color as his hair? I don't want to see someone sucking on their fingers, and it won't entice me to buy canned fish.

Is it the compression that makes the text and stuff look a garbled or is it like that in real life too?

[–] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

I wanna say the compression, but I've never really looked too close at the words. It's either averting my eyes entirely, or an intense hate glare at the dude.

I'm not from Edmonton so this is the first time I'm seeing this billboard but I'd just like to say, it's a very bad billboard.

From a distance the toasted bread looks like he has poop on his hands?

I've seen this in Toronto as well, and yes, it's hideous
