the Reblog 008: Humans hijack alien advertising venues
Is there anything advertisers won't do to get your attention?
Apparently these guys peaked in '05, but I must have been living under a rock as I've never heard of them: The Circlemakers are a team of guys who make corporate advertisements in the form of crop circles.
With mandates from the Nike Free, Microsoft X-Box, Sanrio's Hello Kitty and Shredded Wheat cereal, their "billboards" were presumably not cheap, but as their website's not been updated in nearly a year, perhaps the tap has stopped running. Fine with me; I prefer the ones done by actual space aliens. Sure, aliens might suck a few of us up with that light beam and probe us or whatever, but they never ask you to buy anything.
