Street artists beef up billboards with Doom graphics

You know what? Driving around is boring. Luckily, some Germans are taking steps to amp up the experience by incorporating Doom graphics into billboard ads, effectively upping their cool factor exponentially. Check out this Flickr set and tell us these billboards are anything but completely awesome. We dare you!

Hopefully, this is the beginning of a trend that will cross the oceans of the world and spread throughout every major city, causing us to actually care about these outdoor advertising eyesores. In the spirit of international sharing, we've got a couple ideas of our own you can check out past the break.

Oh my...Bubsy. One of Accolade's finest creations. That brings back memories.

Does it concern you? Is it on topic?

No?

Then shut up and move on.

Kalenn, he's the Dark Lord of the Sith. That's his job.

Not a very good job, though. He doesn't get paid and the Rebels and Jedi always own his ass.

Coming from the IW fanboy?

I'm always in the realm of gaming. That question was just a stupid attempt at getting an upvote from the bitter people on this site.

Can't you tell!? This is exactly what Darth's job is. he gets payed to make our lives a bit more interesting with his reliable commenting. Paid by karma.

That's funny, I thought he just spouted meaningless drivel as much as possible in an attempt to drown out every other commenter on the site.

He does succeed in that regard often.

Filthy, you and your buddies are ones to talk. You've hijacked this site so many times it's not funny.

Hey what's happening, Filthy?

Wow, you have a lot of enemies on here... Not fair, I want enemies (Though I don't comment nearly as much as I used to)

Xbox 360 sucks, RR0D loololol!!1!
Wii is a baby toy :B
PS3 is teh awesome

Not gonna lie, the Inter-Joystiq war is pretty awesome. If only we had virtual avatars to make rude gestures..

I don't know what side to choose tbh :(
How about neutrality? :P

If only we had chat rooms to violently curse eachother out.

Hey Darth,

Instead of responding to them, could you possibly just live with the downvotes for now until they get bored and move on to something else shiny? See, I feel like, when you respond, you just make it worse.

Tell my wife I said... "hello"

Oh shit!!!
DIS shit is gettin INTENSE!

Darth Bradwart - DLotS vs. Filthy Assistant and Dreaded Fear

Who will win. Who will lose.
Place your bets right here.

I've been putting up with the downvotes for nearly two weeks now. And when they attack me personally, it's a matter of honor for me to respond.

Colonel, I'll take $5 on Darth

I got 50 bucks on Bradwart

I got $10 on Bradwart.

And Dreaded Fear hits him hard! Will Darth have the stamina to respond?

Alrite we got 55 bucks rite now. Any more? Any more? This fight is getting intense, BABY!

Dreaded, you seem like a very angry person. Pull the stick out of your ass and it might help.

I do feel a bit sorry for Darth, i assume he's being downvoted for commenting too much or have I missed something?

Don't really see why people have such a problem with the former :S

Dreaded Fear got OWNED

How do you know I'm angry. I'm merely typing things out as I see.

I'm done with this "fight." The only way I can "win" is by going down, and I mean down to Darth's level of idiocy to "beat" him.

Ooh, not quite sure if a stick in the ass is gonna cut it... I give this round to Dreaded Fear.

*Ding Ding*

Round 2!

Don't be a puss, DF

What's this? Dreaded Fear surrenders! Darth Wins!

...Now give me my fucking $5.

Dreaded, you say I'm an idiot?

It ought to be evident that he doesn't have a real argument, and is just forfeiting because he's inept.

GO DARTH GO BRADWART

I need to win 10 bucks dammit!

" I thought he just spouted meaningless drivel as much as possible in an attempt to drown out every other commenter on the site."

If it wasn't for everyone bitching about him posting he would have taken up 2 posts on this page instead of a thread that takes up the whole page bitching about how much he posts. Yea, he posts a lot and yea, it's annoying. But everyone feeling the need to bitch about it in every article is getting a lot more annoying than Bradwart ever was.

Caramel, true, but it's funny as hell watching these people go at it online.

Alright I guess that pussy forfeited. $10 for you Cheezy, $5 for you Traceur, and $50 for me. OH YEAH!!!

That's my point. People need to grow up and quit freaking out because I made a bloody post.

Woo! $5! Now I can finally afford that Kidney transplant.

(Also you got my name right, +1 to you sir, everyone always says tracer. There's a "U" in there...)

Ahem...

"Wow this got real old real fast. I'm tired of trying to see interesting comments and reading this shit every article. We were better off BEFORE, when Bradwart was still posting a lot."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP ALL OF YOU! Bradwart might make 4 or 5 posts per article but when you shitheads do this crap it wastes entire pages! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!"

"You're all fucking stupid. Have fun being retards."

"This is all extremely depressing and shameful if you ask me
We've got a guy who spends all of his time posting, which isn't terrible...
We've got people founding e-groups to do....something against 1 person."

"I think some people take this posting thing way too serious. So what if you comment here a lot. I read a lot, not always comment, but I might as well could have."

DOES CAPTAIN PLANET HAVE TO CHOKE A BITCH?

STFU and get off Brad's chode you fucks.

Oh, what the fuck is this?

Seriously, this is like middle school. If you guys doing this are over 11, then you should frankly feel like tools.

I am so sick of this.

I don't have any problem with Bradwart. Sure he posts a lot, but most of his posts are relevant and has information and shit in them.

I've been observing these wars for quite sometime now. never chiming in because this is mere childsplay. But I just want to read Joystiqers insightful comments on these articles that actually teach me something, or make me chuckle. lately it's just been all out wars.

Can we just sign a treaty? so I can get back to reading insightful comments and chuckling at funny ones?

i want an attack force :( WHY MUST EVERYONE LOVE ME SO?!

I'm just here because it's funny on how petty these people are.

Yeah I don't get why the fuck Bradwart gets downvoted all the time. I guess trolls have nothing better to do. Remember that Applebanana guy from a week ago, he started a "attack force" against Brad. Good thing that troll got banned.

Happy PedoJokerBear?

Another page of the same crap

So yeah I know this is a bit off-topic but did you hear about those street artists plastering doom graphics on billboards?

Mommy! Daddy! Stop fighting! Can't you see you're tearing this family apart?

Yawn. You idiots that keep thinking Darth is causing a problem are very wrong. YOU ARE TEH FUCKING PROBLEM. You keep going off topic downvoting him just because he comments alot.

JUST GTFO! He has done nothing to you! Why must you make it worse.

Holy crap guys, just leave him alone. Just let him make his 2-3 comments a thread. You realize when everyone tries to pick a fight with him, 1 comment spans 2 pages.
