As I promised, here is the long awaited Part III of the Deceiving Billboards. Including each of these in a separate post wouldn’t make much sense, since their connection with illusion isn’t the strongest one on the market. Still as a collection, all of these billboards “flirt” with optical illusion in one way or another. I’m sure you’ll like some, if not all of them. Comment your reflections, so I can be fully aware what is your standing on this type of posts. Remember, collecting these posters took some time and effort on my side, so I truly hope you’ll share at least some of my enthusiasm. Enjoy! If you missed original “Deceiving Billboards“, and “Deceiving Billboards – Part II“, be sure to check them out. Either way, all of them can still be accessed through our billboards category.
Can someone explain the flags to me? I don’t understand what the illusion is supposed to be.
I HAVE THE BAGS AT MY TOWN! And the train!
Beer. Chop glass and bottle cap =)
I enjoyed these illusions – quite poetic in some cases. I think the people inside the lockers were the most intriguing. Are they just stickers on the back wall?

Nice one, again :)
Wow 1st!!
These billboards are totally awesome!!!
Love these. Great site, keep it up.
LOVE IT!! first?
I love these! What is the deal with #4 though, I wish I knew what it said….
All quite awesome. At first I didn’t get the McDonalds one, but now I do. The fitness one on the bus is probably my favourite :)
so awesum!! lyke the car one..blanket one:gross.
I LOVE that shaver one! that’s great!
Creative!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like the shopping bag one! thats so cute!
The blanket one is disgusting. What if a younger person glance at this? Huh? This is giving me a bad impression of this website. Although the first one is cool not the blanket. By the way, what’s with the flags?
can someone explain to me the mcdonalds one?and the flag one?
@Anonymous
The flags are beer ads. The Belgian one is meant to look like a mug, and the Brazilian one like a bottle cap.
very nice these!
@anonymous: the belgian flag contains a beer glass and the circle in the brazilian one is shaped like a beer mat/coaster – probably comercials for national beers
@kalthia: #4 shows stickers in rental lockboxes; beneath each coin collector is written in german: caged. because of origin, religion, political conviction… amnesty international stands up for human rights worldwide – support us!
very nice idea i think. hope i could help you!
Sweet! Can someone explain the McDonald’s one? I don’t get it.
I get all of them, and like them, except for the flags and lockers… what is up with them? Oh! And the car and the Propel, and the McDonalds one. Please explain!
I liked the bed one. Shame that photobucket deleted it.
#3 + 4 are for iams dog food
please explain de fourth one!
That shaver one was awesome :)
What is with the flag, the McDonalds, the Propel, and the lockers?
HOWCOME THE POWERAID ONE IS LIKE THE IMPOSSIBLE WATERFALL ILLUSION

P.S WHY DO YOU NEED TO DO THE MFFHWG THING BEFORE YOU POST A COMMENT
@Kalthia
The 4th says “Eingesperrt” which means something like “encaged” or “caught”. I’m not actual sure what AD this is but i guess it’s something with the right-system and not-fair-judging judges. But I’m not sure, hope someone knows better
I’m probab;y not the first to say that you should check your photobucket account.
I second the comment on the flags: I don’t really see the illusion in thay.
Liked the photo camera and halters.
itsa beer mug
I think they are great but would love to know what the McDonald’s one is about
Hmmm…. Does no one understands teh mc donalds as?
It is a coffee bean, but looks like a hamburger. hence mccafe…
What blanket one?
I got to this illusion after the bed one had been deleted. Can anyone tell me what it was? Or where I could find it? I’m intrigued.
The McDonald’s one is, although none of you guessed, a mix of a hamburger and a coffee bean. ;-)
Number four is for a brand of dog food. It says, “For Stronger Healthier Teeth” Iams.
the flag one is a baggage which means visit wherever the flag is.
well they’re pretty good but i dont understand brazil’s flag but i imagine its a beer company because its the same logo of the palm tree and the sun in the corner and the 1 flag is a jar of beer and the other one is a sun and many bottles
yeah what is the blanket ad/bed ad that everyone is talking about and saying is disgusting? can somebody describe what it was?
i dont get the flag ones…:S but i would SO buy the razor, if they sold them in my area
i thought the german flag was advertising for octoberfest
i love the first one and the second one the second one looks like your shaving a lion and the first on says on the bag reach out to children or something and it looks like your holding her hand.
I love the 17th one its great!!!
Very very interesting ads
Love it
its not a german flag. its a belgian flag. German flag has horizontal stripes of the same colors. The yellow part looks like a beer mug, beers are sorta that color anyways. Belgians make great beer too. Brazil flag looks like a beer cap….
It’s kind of interesting how many people “don’t get” the flag ones or the coffee bean one. They were so obvious to me, i dunno. “McCafe” — coffee bean looks like a hamburger… your first association to mcdonalds…i dunno, arent they expanding themselves in the states as well to have the mccafes? Im an american living in germany and practically every mcdonalds has a mccafe. Maybe it was so obvious to me because its more common here…..
I don’t get the flags either.
Is it me or does everyone cover up the screen so some scary lady doesn’t pop up at you when you’re scrolling down to check the tabs?
I think I’m traumatized :(
realy superb. i need more adds
I enjoyed these illusions – quite poetic in some cases. I think the people inside the lockers were the most intriguing. Are they just stickers on the back wall?
Stickers.
Its by Amnesty International.
The vertical black-yellow-red striped flag is German..it has a beer mug in the center for the famed Oktoberfest festival. Cheers! :)
Its the Belgian Flag.
their first one…me and my brother have forms of autism. thats very kind to whoever sent it in thank you.
