Slovenian Billboards

A recent billboard: “Natalija’s are fake.” (source)

Anyone who lives here, or who’s been reading this blog for a while, knows that Slovenian billboards are in a league of their own: the no-holds-barred league. A recent campaign that caught my eye was the above billboard by leading gossip magazine Nova, which claimed that the Slovenian TV hostess with the mostest, Natalija Verboten, had fake ones. I kind of assumed this already, but I also assumed that they were going to unleash a pictorial of some kind. Like undercover photos from the surgery room or something. Instead, it turns out that they meant she likes fake furs. So… hmm. Ha, Ha.

Anyway, I also stumbled upon this wonderful site: MumboJumbo. It shows three current Slovenian billboard advertisements and invites people to comment on them. It’s a great idea and a good way of keeping track of the country’s often bizarre advertisements.

(Thanks Martinovanje!)

    As far as I know Natalija agreed to participate in this advertising campaign against wearing fur. And she has my respect for it. ;)

    Hm… I always pictured Natalija fur-less :oops:

    Perhaps the next billboard will look more like this.

    Hmmm, I guess they don’t like hotlinking :)

    Here are two decent examples.
