    Now there will be the enevitable release of Scream 5:Scream Free and Die, as they have great publicity for the billboards.

    The cause of the accidents is very clear to me: Everyone is driving on the wrong side of the road!

    I was sort of hoping they'd go back to Kenny the Weather Kia, where he proceeds to peck the eyes out of his handler in some comedic fashion. I guess that's what I get for hoping for too much.

    There's a key piece of information missing, how long have they been in place? Anyone can say there hasn't been a single accident since they are in place if it's only been a day.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: Good question. Here is a quote from another article on it:

    The billboard may be terrifying but Paparuka District Council claims that since they went up over Easter - traditionally the worst time for fatalities because of the holiday rush and first heavy rains after summer - nobody has died.

    One technology from Minority Report that was cool to see in the movie, but probably won't be fast enough or well recieved enough to be successful in the real world.

    "If you've ever been to Japan-or seen a picture-you'd know that the entire surface of cityscapes is basically one giant advertising mosaic"


    Uh have you? I guess by Japan you mostly mean Tokyo, and most of the area of Tokyo is covered by suburb consisting of small one family or few-family houses, virtually without a garden. At least that's what it looked like the last time I was there...

    @William_III_Earl_of_Dastardshire: No, they mean the whole place. Fuji bought the one family homes and Sony bought the few-family houses. It was in all the papers a few weeks ago. Everyone there gets a Solar powered OLED billboard with WiFi to update the ads.
