We have all heard about New York Fashion Week, but what about the New York Cat Fashion Show? It’s a posh show that takes places in the lobby of Algonguin Hotel, and the participants are different kinds of cats dressed up in Haute Couture outfits.

10. PETA’s diet plan introduced this huge billboard ad that had the message to lose weight and go vegetarian with the insulting headline “Save the whales”. It drew a lot of attention but mostly in a negative way because it was taken down shortly after it was placed.

9. Another ad PETA did included the sex scandal of Tiger Woods.

8. Unhappy with the health care bill and how things were done in the White House, Ellis Miller from Texas made this Obama billboard to use his freedom of speech and show his disappointment.

7. This ad for Thomas B. funeral homes & crematory is a bit over the top, but the message is pretty clear though.
