I’ve given up trying to understand billboards in this city

@skinnylatte wtf?!

@skinnylatte is this a ventrilo ad?

@skinnylatte Oh god does it make more sense if you realize everyone in charge is either someone who grew up on 1970s scifi, or is sucking up to someone who did?

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io i remembering that nyt did a thing

@johnbrowntypeface @skinnylatte or of electric sheep?

@skinnylatte they are stealing and appropriating queer culture again! Tove Lo should sue for plagiarism!

@skinnylatte is AI generating billboards for itself now?

@skinnylatte JFC WAT?!?!?!

@skinnylatte part of me bitterly hates its cynicism and part of me is cackling uncontrollably while rocking on the floor in the foetal position

@skinnylatte Why does the robot have muscles?

@skinnylatte

Lolol

@skinnylatte We saw an ad covering the side of a delivery truck on MRY’s Calle Principal yesterday that made no sense to us: HUGE image of 2 guys riding motorcycles, alongside Casamigos tequila; and in very TINY print at bottom “drink responsibly.” Ya think? Like maybe don’t drink and drive/motorcycle!

@skinnylatte pretty sure my partner is reading this romance novel right now, it's super steamy! 🥵 Not the sexbots, or the vouyer horses, but just how great the customer service is! That's hard to find in this modern world, and so hot!

@skinnylatte customer that support actually cares

@skinnylatte this billboard is preying on the romantic insecurities of young men, I see!

@skinnylatte
She - presumably the customer - looks like she’s having an #orgasm in the arms of a metal man, #robot or ‘mandroid’ - as I have read today); not sure what the horse is doing. The whole thing is creepy as f**k & not improved by being on a giant billboard. America is weird, creepy weird.

@almibe
Good question!! Why does the robot have muscles? A little bit of anthropomorphising anyone?
More creepy American #creepyweird stuff
@skinnylatte

@piku @skinnylatte
More #creepyweird American stuff - #BILLBOARDS - don’t their screens work? They have to go yelling to the sky about crap?
Last time i saw this type of #infestation it was the #nasalSex guys in Sydney, Australia about 10 years ago before they got shut down.
