Unfortunately placed beer and sausage ad mocked
An eye-catching billboard advertising a Costa Rican beer brand has caught the attention of drivers, but not for the right reasons.
Beer brand Republica Parrillera Pilsen has erected a billboard in Costa Rica which has been mocked on social media for its startling resemblance to the male form.
The well-intended advertisement looks perfectly appropriate from the front, depicting a sausage on a skewer alongside an image of a beer bottle.
However drivers approaching the sign from the other direction are treated to a wholly more eye-catching view.
An honest mistake or well-played gimmick to attract attention?
One Reddit user is decided, commenting: “This will be played by the media and the company will increase its revenue, I’m almost sure about that.”
Another added: “I think that’s absolutely intentional.”
Missed opportunity. They should have rented the back side of the billboard to Trojans Magnum Condoms and made a fortune.
Signs like that, seemingly illegal or at least in bad taste, may constitute a violation of the local penal code.
