If you look at the bus stop on [street view](336 Bethnal Grn Rd https://maps.app.goo.gl/UTVcRVCkPp8zSPpe9?g_st=ac) you can see the same uneven red border, it's definitely a real place

lol not doubting its a real place i lived in that neck of the woods a few months ago, but now its 2h each way and 40 quid off peak train for me + tube to check. Which is a little too much. I am just doubting that this made it through advertising standards and actually got posted. This would be controlled by TFL, so I would imagine they would also be previewing ads abot to be run.

Would be nice if we got a few more pixels... trying to convince some local colleagues to go check it out.

Dude you can buy keys to open this digital graffiti things and insert whatever poster you want.

If this is actually in that spot it is because someone put it in there , not by contacting the company that controls these eyesores but by being malicious in a good way.

Oh are they like electric/gas cabinets/fire gates then? just need a generic key? Fair enough I didn't know.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Correct. Thing they’re like triangle shape keys some of them. There was a website, which I forget the name of, that would show tips for doing stuff like this and where to get the keys from etc.

Sigh and here i was hoping that ad conpanies finally grew some balls instead of bowing down to foreign nazis... 😔

By the time il pop to the office next time it would probably be gone then 😭

Generally ad companies want to sell space to the highest bidder that won't cost them more money than they'd make. They only bow to foreign Nazis when foreign Nazis are the most efficient way to make money, and that is more about bowing to money than bowing to Nazis.

You can never trust a salesman. And ad people are salesmen selling you buying stuff from other people. Politicians are salesmen selling that they should be in charge of you.
