  1. Marius says:

    But, where’s the cheese?

  2. 10loladahl says:

    Oh my :| I remember watching this billboard years ago, and to this day no one believed me.
    I <3 the internet.
    My life is now complete.

    • Viper says:

      It’s time to rub it in their noses

    • dannifoley says:

      What is this billboard even advertising? Or is it really just dedicated to Ugly Kids?

    • Elledubb says:

      “watching” billboards?

      • A Random Pooka says:

        That sounds kind of peculiar until you start thinking about how now they’ve got these digital billboards all over the danged place that you CAN watch.

        Sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it? Let’s put a 70 foot widescreen TV next to the interstate so people flying down the road will have something to watch instead of driving.

        Not the best laid plan of mice or men. Billboards should be static . One glance, then look at the road. Even in perfect driving conditions, it seems like there’s always a reason to watch the cars around you when doing 65-75 mph … Or maybe I’m just being nitpicky about it?

      • freefall says:

        “watching” meaning “keeping track of”, as in “watching the price of oil.” Makes sense to me. Especially in context (above).

    • Failmaster says:

      What?! Your life is complete? But you weren’t even first!!!11!1

  3. Chris says:

    Truth FTW

  4. Marius says:

    There are no ugly kids, just ugly hair cuts.

  5. what? says:

    Nice!

  6. FailTownburger says:

    Nothing a little make-up can’t fix.

  7. Jimmly Bob says:

    Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  8. Joshua says:

    Am I buying them or saving them?

  9. WetSandinMyTummy says:

    What is this? An infomercial or something? “If your kids look like this, they’re ugly.”

    • ethan says:

      I saw this exact billboard with other kids on it in SLC, Utah around 2004. The next couple of months, the sign changed to “…become Morning DJ’s” and had the kids as adults.

      Glad to see the campaign is copied.

  10. Curly says:

    There was one in Minnesota a while back… the “Ugly Kids” billboard” ended up either turning into or leading to a “Become Radio DJs” billboard, with pictures of the radio djs for some local station.

  11. meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh says:

    the one in the middle looks me

  12. Im Dave says:

    First

  13. Jon; says:

    Well that’s a face billboard that only a mother could love sue for false advertising.

  14. Wafl Hamr says:

    They pulled this same stunt in Salt Lake City a few years ago. It’s an advertisement for the local radio station. In a few weeks/months, they’ll update the photos to the current DJs and the caption will read “make good radio hosts.”

  15. ID says:

    its a WIN!!

  16. c says:

    Maybe that’s why Mommy needs so much ‘Time Out’ wine?

  17. cheplu says:

    well it’s kinda true, we have to give them credit for that.

  18. GER says:

    This is for sure a Win. Give it up to Sconnie.

  19. M says:

    Just remember: it’s not mean if it’s true (is it?).

  20. CYRUS says:

    uh..shopped?

  21. utterfolly says:

    Not shopped – I work in Milwaukee and used to drive by that billboard every day. Other commenters were right – after a few weeks it got changed to one with pictures of some station’s DJs and said something about making good radio hosts. It was VERY wtf. I always hoped they at least used pics of themselves as kids.

  22. AJ says:

    What exactly was supposed to be the point of this? Did the bullies at some school pool their lunch money for the year and put pictures of their favorite targets up there?

  23. Ali says:

    This was actually part 1 of an adversiting promo for a radio station in Milwaukee…the second part (put up a couple weeks later) was something about them being radio DJs (for KISS FM).

  24. Anthony says:

    I am from Milwaukee, and the ad is for 103.7 KISS FM. The ad says “Ugly Kids” with pictures of the actual station DJs when they were kids, and then it switches to “Become DJs” with pictures of the DJs today with the station logo. This ad is old, and I don’t think it’s used anymore.

  25. docsnavely says:

    Win. These kids were at my 10th birthday party at Showbiz Pizza!

  26. splatman says:

    The kid on the left has a milk beard. Is that a Wisco thing? Is that what the “ugly” is about?

  27. Win. These kids were at my 10th birthday party at Showbiz Pizza!

  28. SF Legend says:

    Ugly kids and MacGyver.

  29. Whipspar says:

    What the heck is my high school picture doing there? That’s the 10th grade picture before I sneezed-. Oh, that’s not me.

  30. Gal says:

    Where was this sign? I live there, and I’ve never seen it.

  31. LOL-Cal says:

    Is this the new Farrelly brothers movie? :D

  32. Pachari says:

    +1 Win

  33. proggah says:

    I like the one with the mullet

  34. nfrhean says:

    so true!

  35. =O says:

    It’s an ad for abortion.

  36. J-star says:

    shouldve put justin beiber on there lol.

  37. Nikole says:

    UGLY KIDS R UGLY :B

  38. mr_billy says:

    Epic Win

  39. earthberry says:

    This is actually a 2-sided billboard. They use this on buses all the time here. It’s a radio station ad that says “Ugly kids become radio DJ’s.” It’s school pics of the DJ’s.

  40. axe9 says:

    this was actually on the way to the mall of america it was up for the entire time I lived in that area (about 5 years).

  41. nick braatz says:

    wtf!!! what are they advertising?

  42. J says:

    Looks like a win to me!

  43. pyrodaemon2012 says:

    They had to paint over the fourth ugly kid because he was too ugly and would have blinded anyone who saw the billboard. Three guesses who the fourth ugly kid was, the first two dont count.

  44. DerkMan says:

    Great billboard. This one was for a Milwaukee local radio morning show. The follow up billboard said, “Become DJs” and gave out the radio call sign.

  45. SLT-A65 says:

    προφανώς σαν web-site σας όμως θα πρέπει να ελέγξετε την ορθογραφία σε πολλές από τις θέσεις σας. Ένας αριθμός από αυτούς είναι γεμάτη με προβλήματα ορθογραφίας και μπορώ να βρίσκω πολύ ενοχλητικό να πούμε την πραγματικότητα, παρ ‘όλα αυτά Σίγουρα θα επιστρέψω και πάλι.
