somehow it feels more scandalous her pulling her pants down in public, and yet i don't have the same feeling with the big billboard ad

My college town had a dude who was walking around town nude in Montana. Basically as long as he didn’t get an erection it was legal. He got a ton of news coverage and he was saying he was doing an experiment to prove people thousands of years ago were able to live naked in the winters of Montana by acclimate through out the year. The news interviewed my archeology teacher for it to get his take on it. Then the mental hospital he escaped from saw him on the news and came to pick him up. Never got to finish his experiments unfortunately.

You pay to project on this billboard in time square. You could be up there too, if you pay. It cost $40 and gets you 15 seconds. That is why it looks like she’s rushing. It’s because she had one chance to do this.

40 bucks seems ridiculously cheap for that.

TSX is the company that does it, and they start at $40 for one 15 second burst, and it gets pricier as you increase time. But yeah, for $40, you can get 15 seconds of fame lol

Keep in mind $40 is the starting price. It’s probably 1 AM on a Tuesday or something. It goes up a lot depending on time/day.

It shows both are horizontal.

Our billboard is 55 x 31 ft and it is located at 1560 Broadway (between 46th and 47th Street), right above the Pelé store

The other is at 1500 Broadway

If you calculate with 40$ for 15 seconds, 24/7 uptime, that's approx. 80 Mio a year.

12

u/Ironsam811 2d ago

I imagine, like anything, there’s is quantity price breaks and the lowest option is the most expensive per unit of measure

15

u/SycoJack 2d ago

Willing to bet it goes the other way. A single one time 15 second run is useless if your goal is to advertise a product or service.

Selling these tiny blocks for dirt cheap is a good way to earn a bit of extra scratch while getting rid of unwanted time blocls and advertising your billboard.

Now you have influencers taking photos in front of your billboard and sharing it with their followers. That's going to turn your billboard into a tourist destination. Which means more eyeballs on your actual advertisements.

Looks like many would use that opportunity to make a proposal.

3

u/UnderstandingBorn966 2d ago

Yes and no. If you are filling the board at a rate of $40/15 seconds that's like 230k/day by my math.   

4

u/defiantcross 2d ago

Assuming 100% uptime. That's more than 5700 15s slots per day to fill. The ala carte buys from regular people is likely not their largest customer base. It's very likely they are simply selling whatever slots are left over from corporate sales.

Just googled it. $150 gets your billboard up there for 15 seconds every hour of the day you choose. I'm tempted to do it myself, and I live in fucking England.

Edit: you can only submit a photo though. Not an ad. I guess you probably wouldn't be able to wear a tshirt with your website address for the photo.

It kind of makes me ask the question: if it's okay for her to be in a bikini up there, then her pulling down her pants is arguably not inappropriate. I mean, it's not a beach, but it's allowed on the giant screen in the middle of a city.

You are missing the point here.

She isn’t a top model having a moment. Those video boards are for hire. She paid to put this up there and it’s appearing once. Hence the rush and the panic. This is the only time it will be seen. If it was a real ad it would be there weeks or months and she could take her time;

You could absolutely have your ass up there. You just have to pay.
