- badwithcomputer, on 10/03/2008, -2/+82ikea furniture: so cheap we just leave it at the bus stop
- Oxygen, on 10/03/2008, -1/+10I've assembled my entire living room set from furniture i've found at the bus stop.
- graemee, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5Note to self,
Good way to get rid of old mattresses and couches.
- hnazareth16, on 10/03/2008, -2/+31The Simpsons one is amazing! Damn those German marketers are smart...
- implicitmemory, on 10/03/2008, -3/+27Use only in case of Sith or mugger standing behind you.
- HonoredMule, on 10/04/2008, -0/+2Don't you wish they'd have just said the proper phrase? i.e. "In case of Sith, break glass."
I guess that would have been too daring, but it could have at least been something that sounded a little better, like "Sith survival kit."

- Wuped, on 10/03/2008, -17/+5This has made the frontpage on atleast 3 seperate occasions, seriously it's not that good, die.
- MarshalBanana, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5Somebody needs a hug!
- radish01001, on 10/03/2008, -1/+2He's right. I'm sick of seeing this stupid thing and "CREATIVE AND UNIQUE ADS" with the bag that looks like the gun, or a weight or whatever.
- guhpol, on 10/03/2008, -2/+11Wow, thanks!!! I'd love to see such bus stops in my area... maybe I'd even start taken bus..
- vats, on 10/03/2008, -4/+3The first image is quite surprising.
- gdog05, on 10/03/2008, -1/+12There was a great one in Boise by a local hardware and tool rental company. It was actually on the back of a bus : "Do you really want to say you OWN a concrete vibrator?"
- evilEL, on 10/03/2008, -4/+4Any of these types of adverts in my city would be vandalized horribly by the locals. Baltimore, MD FTW!
- jcaino, on 10/03/2008, -2/+6I think you mean FTL.
- wedges, on 10/03/2008, -1/+9the money behind the security glass wasn't real, and the glass was broken.
- johnrust, on 10/03/2008, -1/+7Pics or it didn't happen.
- DiggMasterJ, on 10/03/2008, -1/+14http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/3m-security-gla ...
- caseycoold, on 10/04/2008, -0/+2Glass wasn't broken, because people could only use their feet. There was a guard posted for the whole $500. With a grinder it's takes me all of 60 seconds to have access!
- Ericdigital, on 10/03/2008, -6/+5The mcdonalds one is evil.
- digitalpencil, on 10/03/2008, -1/+2"err.. bigMcc n fryies pleaze!!"
- 5fifteen, on 10/03/2008, -7/+2And the 3M one seems to be missing...
- crowdadmin, on 10/03/2008, -4/+2Far too commercial these days :(
- kingofkolt, on 10/03/2008, -3/+8I wonder how many times I'll see that McDonald's ad on Digg.
- Weed86, on 10/03/2008, -9/+3Some of them are older than.....GUESS WHO?......
Yes you are right!
McCain - southeastbeast, on 10/03/2008, -4/+3Afro + Starwars = win
- KenSPT, on 10/03/2008, -3/+5I'm not gonna' lie, I chuckled at the Star Wars one ...
- Weed86, on 10/03/2008, -3/+1nopen this wont work, you have to lie on digg
- jjmac, on 10/03/2008, -2/+42"Sorry Mr. 3M President sir, and yes sir, next time we will use something other than phillips head screws to hold the glass panes together."
- graemee, on 10/03/2008, -0/+11It was in Vancouver.
The screws would have been Robinson. Only a Canadian could have stolen it. - Raptor007, on 10/03/2008, -2/+2Try torx screws; NOBODY has those freaking screwdrivers.
- fety, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5ACE is the place!
- EatSleepJeep, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3Those offset 3 spline philips are the worst!
- talonstriker, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2I'd have just carried it away and thrown it off a tall building or something.
- pk386, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2I'm thinking...
1. acquire pick-up truck
2.acquire chain
3. ??????
4 Profit!- strictnein, on 10/03/2008, -0/+45. Find out there was only $500 in real bills and the rest were fake and then go home and cry.
- graemee, on 10/03/2008, -0/+11It was in Vancouver.
- gilmara, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Fantastic!
- donkz, on 10/03/2008, -2/+3make this post sticky to avoid RE:FW effect
- dexterfly, on 10/03/2008, -1/+9this is the tenth time it's shown in here.
- jgopp, on 10/03/2008, -1/+8The playstation one would make me miss the bus, I'd be popping the bubblewrap all day.
- CTRaiderThe1st, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4The "tubes" must be clogged since I am seeing this again.
- jhirsch4, on 10/03/2008, -2/+4i love articles like this
- StupotAce, on 10/03/2008, -1/+4I had no idea that glass wall containing money was a bus stop. I guess you could call it creative....
- graemee, on 10/03/2008, -0/+83M recently completed an amazing poster-stunt in Vancouver, Canada. They prepped a bus shelter ad with a 3M product called Scotchshield, a see-through film that you can apply to glass which makes it near bulletproof, and filled the postersite with lots of play money, and 500 real Canadian dollars for good measure.
After that they could just sit back and watch the mayhem.....
As passers by did their best to put the Scotchshield to the test, kicking the glass, taking sledgehammers to the glass and going all sorts of crazy over it, the glass withstood the pressures and did not budge. It did not break, it could not be broken. Shame one can't say the same about the aluminum frame which was breached, at that point security guards called a time-out as that was cheating. Canadian local and national news shows reported on all the crazy attempts to get into the poster for the cash, all in all 3M got a lot of press for their money - remember there was only 500 real dollars in there and a single poster site was rented for only one day.

- aserer511, on 10/03/2008, -1/+6lol, miscomprehended title. thought it meant a creative bus, whatever that means, stopped advertising
- Raptor007, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Heh, I thought it means ads for Creative products, like Sound Blaster and whatnot.
- AchaIemoipas, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3Please put the 3m security glass one in Montreal. I have a feeling my security screwdriver will come in handy.
- digitalpencil, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2it's not really that impressive when you read it. most of the money was fake with $500 stacked on top and you could only try to break it with your feet.. plus there was a security guard on hand to ensure no-one robbed the whole pane.
Still the 3M film's pretty impressive. there's a bomb test with it on youtube where it takes the full force of the blast and just flexes without cracking.- talonstriker, on 10/03/2008, -1/+2link plz
- digitalpencil, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2^ it's on the website? http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/3m-security-gla ...

- pistonhonda, on 10/03/2008, -0/+8That 3M glass is badass.
- mdmanley, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Pretty awesome ideas in this bunch. Would love to see more transit stop this creative.
- fety, on 10/03/2008, -0/+6Why can't I find any pics/vids of the 3M ad after/while people were trying to bust into it?
- sgvprelude, on 10/03/2008, -0/+63M Security Glass vs 50cc chainsaw?
- dearreid, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3Try to block these, AdBlock! :)
- desertcoffin, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Got my jaw dropped a couple of time, literally... Great story! Dugg!
- ivankraszl, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4This is cool too: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/department_ ...
Interactive bus shelter. :)- DamnMan, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2That would just make me get up and leave for feeling like a tool.
- verbaldouching, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3I wonder if IKEA took the couch back after a week of getting covered in homeless spunk?
- wyzzerdd, on 10/03/2008, -1/+3Afro bus stop for the win
- rdoger6424, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3those ***** klippan sofas... they're everywhere!
(sorry, I got trapped in an IKEA on wednesday) - gamingdude, on 10/04/2008, -0/+3On my way to class, I always notice those bus stop advertisements for that Hbo show about Tim. I'm surprised no one has mentioned them. Its a full body cartoon character that you can sit on. It's funny seeing people sit next to or on the life size Tim cutout.
- MarkusX, on 10/04/2008, -0/+3these ads are always saving the day! Funny!
- whistlest0p, on 10/07/2008, -0/+0Awsome
- alisehof, on 11/04/2008, -0/+0Great idea!!! First pic was cool! I could live there:)
