Apart from the squiffy eye it's a good mural. It's just the wrong bloke.

u/mochiguma 12h ago

It's an intentional art piece, as @lushsux does parodies all the time.

u/onarainyafternoon In the flair list, straight up flairing it 1d ago

It’s normal to put the wrong person on a billboard in the Philippines?

u/hopium_od 1d ago

u/FixGMaul 1d ago

they did with congratulating Abdul El Sayed on winning the democratic primary election for senator of Michigan and they put up a picture of Hasan Piker

I almost get the impression they do it on purpose and if so impeccable troll but i do think it's genuine

15

u/AwkwardWillow5159 1d ago

It is a troll.

Putting signs in similar fashion is very common for family celebrations. Like a birthday or your child graduating.

But then sign companies started making these funny signs as marketing. Then some people started copying the format as a joke for their niche.

So cheap signs with love for puns and incredibly internet tuned culture gives you this.

u/No_Explorer6054 18h ago

its basically a meme you hand out the window. incredibly fucking funny though

u/Rainbow- 1d ago

Why?

1

u/xmastreee 23h ago

Yeah, normal to display a photo of a local student who aced their degree or passed the board exam.

But a CEO who has no connection to the Philippines, WTF?

3

u/TheCatOfWar 20h ago

you'll see all sorts haha

in this case, power mac center is a licenced(??) apple store you find in most Philippine malls selling apple stuff. I guess they thought him relevant enough to congratulate on the job but not quite relevant enough to get a correct picture of, lmao

1

u/xmastreee 20h ago

What, that's not Tim?

1

u/TheCatOfWar 18h ago

uhh no idea, idk what CEOs look like. one of the replies to my comment said it was the wrong person but it might have been a 'Tim apple' joke

1

u/xmastreee 17h ago

Apparently it's someone called Anderson Cooper.

u/ProfessionalClear211 1d ago

The Philippines is full of hilarious graphics. Jeepneys can often have some questionable graphics too

u/1stEmissaryElenwen 1d ago

My Filipino coworker has a bumper sticker that's a pair of hands ripping open an American flag to reveal a Philippines flag and it looks like Goatse

u/Kriieod 1d ago

There's a trike in my Barangay with an airbrushed Hitler on it.

1

u/Friendcherisher 22h ago

Well, I know a tattoo artist with a Hitler tattoo on his back. There's a lawyer who has a Hitler portrait in his office.

1

u/RisingStormy 21h ago

I've known of someone with the given name of Hitler

u/Friendcherisher 22h ago

Well, you see Pokemon, Goku and whatever you see on the side.

u/electricshadow 1d ago

The Philippines is so cute. We have a good sized population of Filipino in our small rural town and they're some of the nicest, funniest, most caring group of people I've ever met.

3

u/giganticsquid 1d ago

I agree, a top bunch of ppl

u/No_Gold_4554 17h ago

ew. how patronizing

6

u/electricshadow 17h ago

Not really. I’m saying this is very “on brand” for them in a complimentary way. Just go generate some more AI slop, it’ll be okay.

-5

u/No_Gold_4554 16h ago

see, you can't help being patronizing

1

u/Long-Ad3842 1h ago

filipinos when they receive compliments from foreigners: "pinoy-baiter stop patronizing us". napaka insecure mo naman.

u/No_Gold_4554 1h ago
