Hey students — need a summer job? Unsubtle billboard up now in Los Angeles.



Arrangement Finders is owned by the same company that runs cheating website Ashley Madison (who, last summer, erected a billboard in L.A. mocking Kim Jong-un).


If you're unclear as to what, exactly, the "arrangement" is for this summer "job," see the below billboard put up in Chicago earlier this year.

Colorado ad bought by local residents has upset Native Americans.



Two of the billboards are currently up in Greeley, Colorado.


Matt Wells, an account executive with Lamar Advertising, says a group of local residents purchased the space.


Residents have called the ad "offensive" and "insensitive."


According to KJCT.com, Greeley resident Kerri Salazar, who is of Native American descent, says she was livid when she learned about it. She said she doesn't have a problem with the pro-gun rights message, but she's offended the Native American people were used apparently without their consent.

A fairly bland-looking woman, which is quite apropos.



Blatantly stolen from ANIMAL New York, which is New York City's best culture website.


The print, by artist and world's most famous photography appropriator Richard Prince, is titled Jerry's Girl.


Prince says: "This a composite of all of Jerry Seinfeld's girlfriends. There were 57 over the course of the show."


It will be available soon, for all you Jerry groupies.

New Zealand's Tui beer has long pushed buttons with its billboards. This one pushed a hot button.



As AdWeek put it, correctly, Tui probably didn't mean any harm with this ad. "Yeah Right" is the brand's long-running tagline that always answers the headline. (Here's 16 more of Tui's tasteless billboards.)


But Tui's Facebook page has received many negative comments about the advertisement, with some saying it is ''homophobic," ''disgusting,'' and ''offensive."


Tui's marketing manager defended the ad, saying,



''There have been a fair few 'Yeah Right' lines which have made it to the billboards over this time, all of which have been generated with the intention of delivering a smile to New Zealanders. Given the duration of this campaig...there is the odd... line, which doesn't hit the mark in generating a smile for all.

Our intention with the current Tui Yeah Right billboard...was to highlight the common situation or uncertainty experienced when someone's parent remarries.

Given the recent passing of the Same Sex Marriage Bill in Parliament, this 'Yeah Right' line is a topical spin at the age-old situation of a parent's new partner.''



Well, as my wise ad teachers at the School of Visual Arts grilled into my dense head:

"IF YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE AD, YOU'VE LOST."
