I do not know who Bibi is, but I almost thought that was China town or some
Asian market. :-)

Congratulations Philo. It's not very many photographs that get that kind of exposure.

I also couldn't help noticing that no one in that picture was looking at your photo. I guess there is so much advertising trying to get our attention in every way possible that people intentionally ignore it. It's not that they don't appreciate it's beauty or originality or ingenuity, it's just that most people have an instinctive sense of fairness. They feel it's unfair to express interest in a product to an advertiser unless they are truly interested in buying that product. Also, they feel that if advertisers are going to bombard them with advertising, they feel they have a right to hunker down and simply ignore it as much as possible.

Nice photo, tho. One Hot Mama.

Yes, I noticed too that no one was looking at it and though it
absolutely was in NY I very well might have over-bragged in thinking it
was NY.


BTW: Two years ago I saw a bill board in Times Square that was a block
long. I still see the image vividly...but guess what...even though I
know it was for some communications company...I have no idea which one
it was.

Thanks

If you ever get a chance to see Harvey Scales and his whole entourage
including Bibi Adell...they are sure worth seeing!


To repeat, it was NY but I am now not so sure it was actually Tiems Square.

Even though I know she was performing in NY I am now embarrassed to
admit she was playing a joke on all her Facebook friends.

sheesh how embarrassing for me...but still it was fun

sorry about that aargh

I fell for a hoax that she perpetrated on Facebook sorry.

At least I now know what Hong King looks like.


The only thing that was true was that they did perform in NY...they
perform all over the country and are better than some musicians that
really were up on big bill boards so I was easily duped.

It's definitely not Times Square. I'm also doubtful that it's NYC.
Almost everyone in the pic is Asian. And the lines on the street look
very unusual, like many small lanes marked out. I've never seen that
in NYC, but it might be there somewhere. Also the bus off to the right
looks awfully square, don't think I've seen one of those in nyc. But
then who knows.

You should soon be seeing my comments elsewhere I was hoaxed and passed
it along here. (very sorry) Though I am a big prankster myself...I did
not initiate this one...I really fell for it.

Sure, part of it was ego...but Harvey Scales along with his entourage
which includes Bibi are so damn good, they are better than many
musicians who really are up on bill boards.



(I think the photo is Hong Hong.)


Also: when someone mentioned that no one was looking at the bill
board...in my mind that made it seem real. I think if the photo showed
people gaping at it I would have known right off the bat someone was
playing a joke.

It doesn't look like Hong Kong as I remember it but it has been a long time

Main reason I don't think it is Hong Kong is that the people don't look
Chinese. More likely, Tokyo or other large city in Japan. Maybe Korea too.

Yep, I think Tokyo.

I guess she had no idea anyone would have thought it was for real...so
she just posted the photos with no comments.

Her page started filling up with congratulations and that's the point
where I saw it.

What I did not know was that she simply went off-line after she posted
and just went back on a few minutes ago.


She was really confused when she woke up and saw the big commotion!

In a way, I guess it would be like me posting a photo of myself with a
big pile of money next to me and saying I just won the lottery. I'd
assume everyone would know it was a joke.

Almost everyone in the pic is indeterminate. But the three people on
the billboard, and four on the ground appear to be westerners. The
baldie in the lower right corner looks just like me.

I don't think it is anywhere in China because there is not one Chinese
character recognizable anywhere. Even more telling, not a single bicycle.

It doesn't look like any place I've been in Hong Kong, either in person
for by Google Street View. Too clean and not gaudy enough.

Not true, but it certainly would not be unusual to see a large group of
Asian people...or any other ethnic group for that matter.
