KYEO: The Billboard That Made Me Rethink Eating Cats

This brings up a terrific question: Why don’t you eat cats?

Bacon comes from an animal half as cute. Shouldn’t cats be twice as delicious?

There’s even a festival devoted entirely to eating cats Festival Gastronomico del Gato every September in Peru. Alas, this is not an ad for said fest. Nor does the Starter Guide set you down the path to becoming a feline feast fancier. It’s actually some sort of meatless propaganda. Bummer. Now it’s got me rethinking other animals, too. Like a grilled Panda Cow or Poodle-Bison burger. Mmm.

Spotted in Petaluma (the same placement as Healy’s Naked Power grab).

Adv: Love Your Coochie?

Overseas Friend of the Ümlaut Todd Sullivan spotted this coochie in the Tube station last night. He also saw a Lady Garden and VaJayJay but was too shy to snap another pic.

Turns out, it’s a campaign for British “tampon alternative” called the Mooncup, made from medical grade silicon. Intrigued?

Whisker Biscuit? Disco Flaps? Tyler?!

Slogans Needed: Healy’s Naked Power Grab Sign Too Subtle, Gentle

“Just Say No to Naked Power Grabs!”

Sure, it’s a quote taken out of context. Part of a larger, sillier rant that doesn’t deserve even this much acknowledgment. But c’mon. Couldn’t he fit any more innuendos in? Can you?

Here’s a few starters:

“Say No to Aggressive Reach-Arounds!”
“Clamp Down on Handjobs for Handouts!”
“Stop Throwing Taxpayer Money Into Glory Holes!”

Adv: Times Square Billboard Made From Recycled Electronics

Really diggin’ this. Saw it at Scouting NY who makes a great point: “I wish they had made it a little bit more clear what the incentive is to lug my old VCR all the way to Best Buy versus just tossing it in the garbage.” I wonder how many people outside the Bay Area bubble are as aware of the hazards of e-waste. Or of how much personal data can still be retrievable even after you’ve “deleted it”.
