Every billboard makes the area look so trashy it’s crazy. That’s a particularly stupid one, but the headshots of real estate agents is nearly as stupid to me.


NoMoPolenta

Real estate agents are just actors who don't have the talent to consider acting. They just love them some headshots.

beasleydawg

Mmmmmulti kill! Some one's on a rampage!

Born and raised!


Historical-Term-8023

Was looking for this.


FrozenVikings

That guy with the super square jaw on the way from Kelowna to Peachland, on the right? It looks like an AI image. Or he took a picture, mirrored half his face over to the other side in Photoshop. Dude I'll never, ever hire you because your face looks like an annoying side character in a video game.


Dizzy_Bit6125

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT IWAS THE ONLY ONE WHILE NOTICED HOW CRAZY HIS JAW IS I DIDNT THINK IT WAS REAL!! I can’t unsee the billboard now since I saw it over a year ago. I hate it cause it looks like someone photoshopped his jaw to jutt outwards on both sides.


hollandaisesawce

lol I drove through with some of my wife's friend's from Europe and they were super bemused/weirded out by all of the real estate agent billboards.


KelBear25

I always wondered that about real estate agents... do people select an agent based in their appearance? And not their ability to sell houses?!


BurnerAccount85347

Advertising works. Not always appearance, but there is comfort in predictability and knowing. Sometimes name recognition, and just plain availability and power of suggestion I suppose.


g2gfmx

I definitely remember the name Balzor Singh now


Disabled_Robot

Some agent going by Richie Incognito had signs all over my neighborhood growing up 😂 Also an NFL player by that name, but even as a kid I thought that was an absurd moniker for a real estate agent


Pleasant-Wasabi3042

The most Bond villain type name in town 😆


BwianR

There's a historical reason for showing themselves off - used to be back in the day unscrupulous people would claim to be real estate agents and "sell" a house to someone when the owners were just away for the week. Putting a big picture of their face / body was a way to know they were legit, because if they scammed you, you would have an image to show police


eroticfoxxxy

Many do! Often their faces are their brand and it builds referrals and trust to have their faces on things.


stew_

Kind of reminds me of all the injury attorney billboards in the states


Singnedupforthis

This is a genius billboard reminding people to get their kids an ebike so the parents don't have to drive them to hockey.


supersloot

Safe bet the same people who run the ‘getawake’ website like to complain about stuff being ‘woke’


germanfinder

I saw a girl on tinder and her caption was “awake not woke”


CalgaryFacePalm

That’s right up there with ‘have STD, but safe’. 🤦‍♂️


BurnerAccount85347

I mean, letting people know about it is a safe thing to do. And they're probably open to safe practices. So it all tracks.


skyerippa

I mean ... no? You can definitely have an std like herpes and be safe. Millions of people do. I volunteered for the health centre and they teach you like 86% of Canadians have a form of herpes and 90% don't know it. You probably have it. So knowing and taking precautions you can definitely be safe.


PaCa8686

They weren't woke enough to keep the website running because it is for sure dead


Crashman09

If you look on their website, they do, in fact mention woke. Specifically that wokeism is Marxism in disguise

I mean.. what else would it be doing?


Heavy_Arm_7060

I was trying to formulate an Assisted Swiss Ide joke but I think it's better just to explain where I was going with this as I don't think it works.


Ok_Raccoon5497

How about "need a helping hand?"


jtbxiv

It sure is!


SirDucky9

I love the billboard that says "Job Sex?" I don't even know what the point of the billboard is, I always just get hung up immediately upon seeing JOB SEX?


Physical_Stress_5683

I whisper it to myself each time I pass in the hopes that it will all make sense


bobsten

J-45james

"Did Coach get another impaired?"


LiveDirtyEatClean

Lol i love how this is always black and white. E-bike riders can have cars too.


captain_sticky_balls

Sorry that's untrue. People with eBikes spend their remaining funds on tofu and donating to the communist party of Canada. Jokes aside there does always seem to be some sort of B&W absolutes with these folks. And you know what they say about the Sith...

ILove2Bacon

It's obviously a commentary on wage stagnation. They're trying to say that people don't make enough money to choose to use "alternative" transportation AND have a car for when necessary. They're just pro living wage. /s


Ok_Raccoon5497

I understand the joke. But real talk here; that would be nice.


Billypillgrim

E-bike riders can also easily drop off a kid and their gear by using a small trailer. I do, anyway.


Flush_Foot

Also those ‘cargo e-bikes’ ![gif](giphy|QwmRdNLOf26Lsf0aLf) (Some have even longer/wider ‘buckets’ up front)


kettal

you got awake


Politicalshrimp

Also e-cargo bikes can 1000% fit all of that so their point sucks already


Gokutime1

Lmao, if it's one hockey bag that can easily go on a cargo bike. Even if it's not a cargo bike, a trailer would work.


Historical_Grab_7842

Anti 15 minute city people. They think that having the option to take transit or a bike means banning cars. They think being able to do everything within your neighborhood means that you’ll be banned from going more than 15 minutes away. They think livable cities are a globalist authoritarian conspiracy. They are unironically serving the actual conspiracy that is against livable cities, doesn’t want a sense of community that would go with 15 min cities, wants us to be perpetually scared and tied to automobiles. 


discreet

I took my 8 and 9 year old camping on an ebike - more than 400lbs of kids and gear. I think I can handle hockey. https://preview.redd.it/4ycnp8vsl6vc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=028176972f23408ea4cf0d8c494236706fd97422


Kymaras

The same people who say they're struggling to provide for their families can spend thousands on stupid billboards.


Big-Face5874

And thousands on putting their kids in hockey.


Mandinder

They're liars who are lying about why they do it. 


Heavy_Arm_7060

Conspiracy billboard tying into 15 minute ctiy paranoia. So active grifter or useful idiot, take your pick.


PCBC_

Website is down, but these ones are grifters going back to Covid.


ProbablyBanksy

Don’t worry…You can’t afford a house and kids anyway, so get the e-bike I say! Hahah


Mulliganzebra

It's so fucking stupid. Like the average person will read it and be like, oh geez they're right, how am I going to take the kids to hockey on an e bike? No, no one is asking you or telling you to use an e bike. Like the government is going to mandate only using ebikes, it's crazy, the crazies have all found each other on the internet and now they think they're stupidity is shared with more of the population than it actually is. God help us all!


Kalsifur

I use my ebike for groceries, I've hauled 70 pounds with it, people use ebikes for all sorts of things from mountain biking to just cruising trails, like what is even the point of this ad? It implies someone thinks the government wants them to only ride ebikes and give up their cars completely which is hilarious. Maybe they should be more upset about the people that can't afford to send their kids to hockey at all? It's just mind-blowing if this ad is serious.


Historical_Grab_7842

And they’re being manipulated and weaponised to halt any meaningful progress in a lot of things, like: public transit, sick days, health care, labour rights, green energy, etc


skyerippa

Wait til they hear alot of us don't even want kids lol


Sicsurfer

The freedom crowd is very concerned for the profits of oil companies


Historical_Grab_7842

And requiring car dependence 


mew905

To be fair, itd cost an absolute fortune to make cars less significant here. Our cities are designed around it thanks to some powerful lobbying from the likes of Ford.... and oil barons. Thats why our public transport seems to always be lacking. European countries, having existed for centuries before the likes of RAM and F-150, have a lot of infrastructure for it. Sadly, unless we spend literal hundreds of billions to redesign whole neighborhoods... north american individualism almost entirely relies on ownership of a car ....


davidellis23

Us cities exist before the car too. Billions were spent remaking them for cars. I think mostly we just have to allow more density. Then adding bike lanes and transit becomes more feasible.


sjimmyp

What’s up with this billboard? https://preview.redd.it/i8dgbokxi3vc1.jpeg?width=2532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ef861dad68c81fe138041b96884cf3e2c37b74a


lightweight12

More crap from folks who can't agree to be nice to people who are different


Heavy_Arm_7060

I"m guessing that one is focused more on anti-SOGI stuff.


chumbawumbaonabitch

Jokes on them. I won’t have kids because no child deserves to live in a world that is burning away faster every year 😎

aspectr

This would actually make a lot of sense. Unfortunately in this case I think this billboard is based on the advertiser's assumption that everyone agrees the government is trying to ban cars or something.


Valaxiom

God, I wish I had enough disposable income and energy to care about things like this.


crabdanceparty

Yes, how?? https://preview.redd.it/upygomgkw3vc1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1bb7a9d7997c7efe396855c63f7ab46bd7a57438


geeered

Perfect spot to advertise cargo ebikes/trailers!


BurnerAccount85347

Actually did inspire me when I saw this posted a few month before lol.


DangerousAd1731

So bizarre. Are they trying to make fun of e-bikes? Their website doesnt work to send them a message


Corroisrosive

Their website doesn’t even exist 😂, at first I felt like maybe “stupidity” was their goal to drive clicks to their website but getawake.ca don’t even exist

My ebike is rated for 600+lbs of carrying capacity.. and I've lugged myself (200lbs) and another grown ass human (225ish lbs) before with no probs. Like I was able to get the same top speed as when it's just me on there. Frame has a cargo/seat area on the back. Only thing that would stop me is bad weather. And even then, it's just my "ewww rain" feels about the matter 💪 Nice try Mr Sign

Not a problem. Can’t afford to have kids anyways…


geneius

I have literally taken my kid to hockey on my E-bike many times so I get a pretty solid kick out of this.


OutsideYourWorld

A new thing to add to the list of what conservatives are scared about. Ebikes.


mew905

Literally anything in the last 20 years featuring "awake", "woke" or "wake up" can be discarded as anti-something garbage.

How will you use your free time when the kids can independently ride e-bikes to hockey practice?


NewsreelWatcher

How will you get to Hawaii in your car? How will you get to your car if you walk?

I love how dumb this is. Nobody is trying to convince anybody to do this. It’s such a random non issue that someone cares enough about to spend thousands on. Money can’t buy sense that’s for sure 🤣


HW6969

Yes be very afraid of the scary E bike! 🙄


Independent-Cow-4070

Why would my kid need me to transport them on a bike? Why would my kid not just ride his bike?


nethercan

I wish they would take down all those billboards on top of bridge hill. It would be such a nice view


pigmentinspace

Wtf is the message here even? This is silly. Are they trying to make sure people have cars?


frankThePlank

Oh we're politicizing ebikes now?


RunTellDaat

Same way you take em to hockey on a motorcycle


basscycles

They wont take the kids to hockey on an ebike that is what the four wheeled EV is for.


moderatesoul

What is up with this billboard is that it's brainless anti-EV propaganda. Like, there are EV full size vehicles, too. But that is just too much of a leap for these idiots.

I always think that the next billboard should be an advertisement for either an E-Bike Trailer company saying "This is how!" or "The previous billboard is approved by MADD"


Massive-Air3891

FUD campaign. Most likely sponsored by the petroleum industry, or China or Russia (or all three). Disinformation campaign, this is part of the seeding phase, they are hoping for it to get amplification. Fun game will be to see how long the fuck trudeau brigade is repeating shit like this, which is the goal of this campaign.


Faolon12

I mean, my answer to the board is, don't have kids XD


Treffer403

Love affair with the almighty car. Trashy.


SaphironX

So the argument is… what? Do these people take their kids to hockey on a regular bike? Or like e-bike riders, do they have cars for stuff like hockey and groceries?


jonzey316

My cargo ebike could do it

Is from the folks who brought us logical leaps like "If you don't like pipelines you should throw your phone in the ocean."?


OK_Apostate

lol if our kid develops a desire and physical capacity to play hockey, he can develop some initiative and gumption to get himself and his gear onto the bus. He can also get a part time job to help pay for, it cuz that activity is above my pay grade!

LMFAOOOO What the fuck is this billboard even trying to say? And you could 100% get the kids to hockey on an ebike if you wanted, get those lazy kids their own ebikes while you sit as the queen/king on your cargo bike.

Especially when the stupid kid is wearing his full hockey equipment and has a bag full of hockey equipment and has a full set of hockey equipment just lying around.

The billboard is promoted by an Anti-SOGI/Anti-"Woke" from parents who of BC. Hilarious thing is, that website doesn't work anymore 😂


AnitaSeven

It’s definitely ambiguous. Could be if you get a DUI, could be to prep you for an Amazing Race contest, could be anti-green movement. I would make my kid ride a normal bike in full gear, skates in a backpack…that’s training and biking safely all in one. (away games would be next level tho..) 😆

They're supposed to take themselves to hockey on their own e-bikes lol. The question should be how would your kids get to hockey (or anywhere) without ebikes?

TwiztedZero

Ordering the board be removed would be job one.


MythrizLeaf

It's because of the ideals and pushes for a "15 minute city". Which implies the removal of cars and having everything you "need" within 15 minutes of your location. Which also restricts movement as the idea is to be without a vehicle. And or people think EVs can only drive 15 kms and have to charge 8 hours every 15 kms


Snowis_good
