Title: billboards over town
Post by: StRaNgE on October 24, 2003, 04:08:41 AM
so yesterday i was driving to work and  what do i see in the distance.  a billboard from quite a ways caught my eye.
on 1st inspection it looked as if it was the band kiss live ( a photo)
as i drove close i notice   a big bright green yoshi head stuck on top of what i think was gene simmons head. with the slogan  which one are you, or something like that.

it was a smaller billboard and i forget the specifics but the fact that it was there at all sorta brought a smile to my face as i finished the rest of the frive to work.

has anyone else seen these or  anything else that is a bit different for nintendo in the ad department?

Quite the lucky one, Strange.  I got to see an accident between the two commercial trucks *directly* ahead of me on a Sacramento highway on the way back to my apartment from class.

its good to hear that there are billboards and commercials etc about nintendo and thier products, i have to say that living in Australia , you wouldnt expect commercials on t.v to often , but , i saw 5 gamecube commercials in the spand of 1 hour. quite impressive if you ask me.

We also have the Yoshi/Kiss billboard here.  It's really a dark ad so it is a little hard to see.

Are you sure?  I thought I saw Kiss.  I'll have to look again.  Maybe our billboard is different.

I believe it's Kiss, but I'm not sure.  Nintendo.com has a pop-up that has some flash stuff that you can use to the gallery of who are you pics.

Apparently Pete Townsend DOES dress up in high heels, makeup and leather.  But never in concert.

Seems  a great new advertising strategy so far, hopefully it pays off.

Instead of quoting it like that, you could just write "Aiai: etc. etc." and it'd take up less space.  Whatever, I don't care either way.

Yeah, it's definitely Kiss. . .
