- 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."
- hnazareth16, on 10/03/2008, -2/+31The Simpsons one is amazing! Damn those German marketers are smart...
- inactive, on 10/03/2008, -3/+27Use only in case of Sith or mugger standing behind you.

- graemee, on 10/03/2008, -0/+11It was in Vancouver.
The screws would have been Robinson. Only a Canadian could have stolen it. - 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?"
- Oxygen, on 10/03/2008, -1/+10I've assembled my entire living room set from furniture i've found at the bus stop.
- 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..
- pistonhonda, on 10/03/2008, -0/+8That 3M glass is badass.
- 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.
From http://commercial-archive.com/node/118826 - wedges, on 10/03/2008, -1/+9the money behind the security glass wasn't real, and the glass was broken.
- jgopp, on 10/03/2008, -1/+8The playstation one would make me miss the bus, I'd be popping the bubblewrap all day.
- 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?
- inactive, on 10/03/2008, -1/+7Pics or it didn't happen.
- fety, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5ACE is the place!
- kingofkolt, on 10/03/2008, -3/+8I wonder how many times I'll see that McDonald's ad on Digg.
- MarshalBanana, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5Somebody needs a hug!
- aserer511, on 10/03/2008, -1/+6lol, miscomprehended title. thought it meant a creative bus, whatever that means, stopped advertising
- graemee, on 10/03/2008, -0/+5Note to self,
Good way to get rid of old mattresses and couches. - CTRaiderThe1st, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4The "tubes" must be clogged since I am seeing this again.
- 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.
- jcaino, on 10/03/2008, -2/+6I think you mean FTL.
- ivankraszl, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4This is cool too: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/department_ ...
Interactive bus shelter. :) - 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!
- EatSleepJeep, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3Those offset 3 spline philips are the worst!
- 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....
- dearreid, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3Try to block these, AdBlock! :)
- rdoger6424, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3those ***** klippan sofas... they're everywhere!
(sorry, I got trapped in an IKEA on wednesday) - inactive, 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.
- verbaldouching, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3I wonder if IKEA took the couch back after a week of getting covered in homeless spunk?
- 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." - 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!
- KenSPT, on 10/03/2008, -3/+5I'm not gonna' lie, I chuckled at the Star Wars one ...
- Raptor007, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Heh, I thought it means ads for Creative products, like Sound Blaster and whatnot.
- digitalpencil, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2^ it's on the website? http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/3m-security-gla ...
- mdmanley, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Pretty awesome ideas in this bunch. Would love to see more transit stop this creative.
- gilmara, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Fantastic!
- desertcoffin, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Got my jaw dropped a couple of time, literally... Great story! Dugg!
- jhirsch4, on 10/03/2008, -2/+4i love articles like this
- 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. - inactive, on 10/03/2008, -1/+3Afro bus stop for the win
- 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! - DamnMan, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2That would just make me get up and leave for feeling like a tool.
- 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.
