Video Billboard Hack: Not Safe for Driving
Posted by nexus2 on Wednesday, Feb 24, 2010
A Russian hacker just found a novel way to culture jam the advertising virus of video billboards: replacing the ads with hardcore pr0n. When it happened in Moscow recently, a traffic jam ensued, as did the hacker’s arrest. But it also prompted the Moscow Advertising Committee to ban video billboards on the streets of Moscow.
Though of course they’re still permitted throughout the rest of the country, in order to remind drivers, in vivid HD, of the virtues of cheap vodka.
