pigs and… pigs.

Posted on October 27th, 2003 in my ramblings.

Two people have now written me about seeing these kinds of billboards around. I saw another ‘I Love You’ pig at Pharmacy & Sheppard in Scarborough. I haven’t seen the ‘It’s a Boy!’ one yet. Any more sightings?

    There’s two that I’ve seen in London, both itsaboy and iloveyou — sequel to Babe maybe? Or perhaps it’s a telecommunications company rebranding?

    That font does really remind me of Telus…

    Yeah, i was thinking the same thing — plus the white background, and the animal images… but if it is, this is the first time i’ve seen them use pigs.

    Perhaps they’re launching a new service – like Rogers new ‘totalphone’ – aimed at burying Fido. That certainly seems to be what totalphone is all about: monthly but no contract.

    I saw a new one!
    This one was on a bus. It was the same pig but facing away, and looking over it’s shoulder. The caption read “I’m a little behind”
