Billboards

• An add which showed a young woman in a red cape or sarong-like piece of clothing, staring intently at a baby cradled in her extended arms, staring back at her ( I couldn't decide if it was an ad for maternity fashions, prenatal vitamins, or something to do with the upcoming elections)

• A Shaquille O'Neil billboard, in some stylized basketball pose, emphasizing SHOES

• And perhaps the most popular: a billboard showing a magnificently muscled white winged horse (Pegasus, I assume) flying, or perhaps sprinting above dark blue water, with the cryptic incription "BE You, BE Cooper". Cooper, I found out, was a cigarette brand. (I never did find out how to be 'you' by being someone else, or what the name Cooper had to do with winged horses. I guess I'll just never understand consumer marketing...)
