Fighter jets fly over Manhattan and I am immediately reminded of the days right after 9-11, when the only aircraft in the skies around NY were fighters. All commercial flights had been halted. I immediately wonder what new disaster has occurred — then I realize it's Memorial Day and this is probably part of the"festivities."

A giant transformer made out of S.U.V. parts has appeared on a billboard at 35th St. and Seventh Ave. There is no text or credit attached, so one is left wondering if it is an satirical art piece, a teaser for an upcoming movie, or a terrifying manifestation of a U.S. self-image.

Could be this was already shown here before in the news but, if not, Go to Manhattan, they have a Transformer there..as far as I know..

Looks like the old Mini Cooper "Transformer" that they used to have a long while back.
I don't think it has anything to do with the movie, but still yet...a nicely done billboard!

I thought there was a reason I'd been keeping this picture...

I got it from their site when they were doing their little 'transforming' promotion...

No wonder the seats in them things are so big yet uncomfortable.

I love Talking Heads music but after reading some of the stuff on that website David Byrne is way out there.

I agree, he has some wierd issues....

And wow, I think Bumblebee should have been done in a Mini for the alternators line, that would have been totally cool by me, just looking at that pic above settles it..
