Human billboards

People who collect in standouts at rotaries or on overpasses with campaign signs, sometimes causing gahkablahkas. The candidate's the one who doesn't have a sign in his hand.

A good example is of "Darbie" (State Sen. Tom McGee). He'll always be at a rotary and won't be holding a sign.

Another literal form of human billboards are those with corporate logo tattoos. Yes, believe it or not, people do have real (permanent) corporate logos tattooed on their bodies. Email me for more info: logotattoos@hotmail.com. I did my master's thesis on the subject. Very interesting phenomena.
