So, I was pretty convinced that, after an amazing set of TV promos, HBO had completely dropped the ball with the print ads after walking past the new window of their building on sixth street.
It's a totally cheesy shot (you may have seen it) of all your favorite Fishers and Diazes and Chenoweths and Keiths and Dudleys (Ha!) in mid-air, like, jumping. Sure, the tag line, "Every Day Above Ground Is A Good One", is nice and filled with promise, but still. That picture is so fucking weak.
But fear not.
Get your ass to Times Square a la pronto, because above the Hershey Store is the best Six Feet billboard I've ever seen. It's vertical and the top third of it is a very average group shot of our heroes. But here's the twist. Under Kieth, the paint drops in a jagged line which leads to a REAL LIFE THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHERRY PICKER/WINDOW WASHER THINGIE WITH ONE OF ITS ROPES BROKEN. Underneath that, further down, is a red blotch and then: Mike Henderson 1975-2004.
Best. Ad. Ever.
ETA: You can see an LA, wider version, here. Told you.
