Anyone else see these billboards?? There's one on 410 at 10, and another on 35N on the NE side. For the folks that have no idea what I'm talking about, the billboard reads "Ugly Kids" in between two pictures of these kids...looks like school pictures taken. Also, by the looks of the clothes, they were taken back in the 70's. Anyway, thought I'd see if anyone knew the story behind the billboards. Also, I'm really bored at work this morning

Ive never seen it before. Ill have to watch on my way to work tommorow.

 

I've seen them. Dont know what they mean. I didn't even think the kids were 'that' ugly.



Like most advertising, I didn't pay much attention to it. Kinda like the banner ads on this website and others.

 

Awww, and I thought of all the people who would know something about this it would be Richard. Damn, now I'll have to do some investigating to find out what they are.

 

My guess would be it has to do with the ugly clothes from the 70's and to go out and buy new clothes.

 

Okay, I got the scoop. It seems it an advertisement from Clear Channel Communications for a couple of DeeJays soon to hit the air here in town. It's something about "ugly kids" grow up to be deejays. I think they are out of Minneapolis but I'm not sure. That's what I've found out so far.

 

Hehe...thanks Ben...you must have been as bored as I was

 

Djs huh? i have seen these around and wondered the same thing. I thought it was some rich jerk a$$ devorsed dad who got back at his kids or never mind im just rambling

 

HAHAHA! WTF is that supposed to mean? Is this some sort of crack on my age?????

 

No, you just usually have the answers that people are looking for since you get to browse the internet as much as some of us do.

 

Just messin' with ya Ben. It's true, I am on the internet a LOT!

Anywho, the billboard is an ad campaign that is running in various cities (Minneapolis, Vegas, SA, Wichita to name a few) that feature childhood pics of local DJ's. It generates controversy because people think its rude. People start calling in about it, listening to the radio, etc... Marketing 101.

 

It's Woody and Jamie from the the Woody show.


I work for clear channel

 

Oh good...I thought someone got a hold of my pics when I was 3-5 years old and put them up as to say "don't dress like this fool.

 

What do you mean when you were 3-5???? You act as if something changed.. HA HA!

j/k dude..

 

Yeah..back when I was 'cute'...so everyone says...now I'm just a fat kid...like cartman(southpark)...well...not that fat.
