I didn't think people in New Zeland had a sense of humor... I didn't really have a reason to think that, they just never struck me as funny. I stand corrected today, though, as fun billboards (like the one above) have started popping up throughout the country. Needless to say, Paris Hilton is not happy...and still dumb.

The photo, which shows Hilton partying, has the word "vacant" written in giant-sized lettering across it.

Hilton's Los Angeles-based manager Jamie Freed said Wellington billboard company, Media5, had no permission to use Hilton's image, and they could expect to hear from Hilton's lawyers.

I don't think you could get away with that in the states. Now because Paris would be even angrier, but because no one would put up an ad after she touched the space. Who knows what diseases your product would get? Better just to go with Main Street - as least those billboards get tested.
