if it takes this much effort to explain why something is funny, it's just not funny anymore.

It is a viral marketing scam:
The term "viral advertising" refers to the idea that people will pass on and share interesting and entertaining content; this is often sponsored by a brand, which is looking to build awareness of a product or service. These viral commercials often take the form of funny video clips, or interactive Flash games, images, and even text.

i can't hold it against you. you pooped at the exact same time i decided to be all worthwhile. if you pooped a minute afterwards though... boy, you'd be in trouble!
well i already originally thought the billboard was funny...then i clicked that link and read the blog..which was too boring to finish reading btw...i was just like, "yea bla bla bla ok ...bla bla" got tired of that. read the Curbed article and then all the posts below it...which kinda threw me off again and was boring.
i wasn't familiar with "viral marketing" before placebo posted that wikipedia link, so that explains why i was lost.
but it makes more sense now, thanks to those who explained

You gotta admit, before your post, it was a pretty poop-worthy thread...
