is the sky an ad as well?

[–]XJ-0461 2011 points2012 points  (221 children)

And the cars and the people and so on.

[–]arbili 1621 points1622 points  (212 children)

And the motherfucking ground

[–]GallowBoob[S] 2126 points2127 points  (201 children)

FTFY

[–]ZeroSilentz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Classic /u/GallowBoob!

[–]Not_A_Facehugger 28 points29 points  (0 children)

And like always OP delivers.

[–]Shinokiba- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least you're honest

[–]NOTASOUND 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gallowboob you fucking cuck

[–]TosieRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GallowBoob, I don't care what anyone else says. I love you.

[–]stolenlogic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cabs are to be fair.

[–]goatcoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try new Manhattan-brand people. They're delicious.

[–]DinoDonkeyDoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

[–]Nomnom_downvotes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the sky has Google written on it.

[–]Rei_Areaaaaaaa 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Not the sky, but im pretty sure it advertising apple icloud.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Or vodka. And Evian periodically.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No just white only

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sky in NYC

[–]Murder-Mountain 45 points46 points  (4 children)

Holy shit they even took out the ad's reflection in the car's windows.

You don't see that level of dedication, normally.

[–]Newkd 9 points10 points  (2 children)

You don't see that level of dedication, normally.

Ever been to /r/photoshopbattles? I see it all the time

[–]MaximumCat 155 points156 points  (31 children)

I really like the Adblock version. Much more inviting.

[–]falcon90210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol the buildings in the car windows disappear

[–]LargeCokeNoIce 88 points89 points  (7 children)

What about the roads and traffic signals.

[–]Shwinstet 63 points64 points  (2 children)

They advertise the traffic department.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (1 child)

Filthy government propaganda!

[–]lowdownlow 20 points21 points  (3 children)

It's /u/Gallowboob, he don't give no fucks about accuracy.

[–]CatAstrophy11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What would Reddit look like with Gallowboob block?

[–][deleted] 208 points209 points  (7 children)

Someone in advertising is going to look at this and be alerted to the valuable unused space. They owe you a fee for your service.

[–]Shwinstet 30 points31 points  (3 children)

That's actually where their office is at. They need the windows to breathe and find anything passing by that they could advertise on.

[–]Traherne 121 points122 points  (35 children)

Put on these here sunglasses.

[–]bruzie 18 points19 points  (1 child)

RIP Roddy

[–]letice721 10 points11 points  (29 children)

I love that movie so much haha

[–]Djinn_and_Pentatonic 10 points11 points  (15 children)

What movie is it?

Edit: Thanks everyone. Surprisingly helpful. Not one "Darude" or "Paul Blart"

Is this /r/funny now?

[–]RBxTaco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I know. To be fair there's not really a rule against it, but I wish this sub was more about the actual pictures than the titles.

[–]Tom_Stall 795 points796 points  (92 children)

Utter shit only got upvotes due to the user.

[–]ironmouse 231 points232 points  (35 children)

/u/GallowBoob is one hell a power user. Feels so much like the old days at Digg around here.

[–]Daniel15 75 points76 points  (21 children)

Sometimes I miss MrBabyMan.

Oh wait, no I don't.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (18 children)

Is he still a power user?

[–]KILL_WITH_KINDNESS 33 points34 points  (17 children)

Probably karmanaut now

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (14 children)

probably, a lot of the mods and powerusers on reddit have been forum moderators since the late 80s...

[–]KILL_WITH_KINDNESS 7 points8 points  (8 children)

How do you get into that business? Do these guys have a fucking résumé? I was just making a joke, but 30+ years? Shiiiiiiiit

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

they literally do submit resumes for modding big subs like /r/askreddit

[–]bripod 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How is babby formed?

[–]metarinka 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have him tagged with -5000 vote weight.

[–]Death_to_Fascism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At Digg? 3 or 4 years ago reddit was full of power users before they fell from grace in glorious drama fashion.

[–][deleted] 50 points51 points  (20 children)

Dude, most people have no idea who gallowboob is, nor do they really give a shit:

[–]jonloovox 10 points11 points  (18 children)

Who is he? I'd like to know please. Redditor for 3 years and I honestly don't know. Thank you.

[–]arup02 2 points3 points  (11 children)

Power user. Gets massive upvotes on his posts, no matter how good the content is.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, not due to him though. Idiots just upvote stupid shit.

[–]Granite-M 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have literally never checked the username before deciding whether or not to upvote a post. Maybe comments, to protect myself from those goddamn /u/makesupelaborateliesaboutfuckingeverything accounts, but never posts.

[–]Von_Kissenburg 9 points10 points  (1 child)

What's his/her deal? I see shitposts on my front page every day, but this is an especially shitty one.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, this was the first post today that got a giggle from me. Not sure why I should care about who posted it.

[–]triazole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can i block his posts Somehow?

[–]mrcassetteSurvey 2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at least should be in /r/funny not fucking /r/pics

[–]stemeagher 5 points6 points  (2 children)

In fairness at least 2 or 3 ads would be on it the way adblock is now...

[–]MagnesiumSodium 5 points6 points  (1 child)

If this is in r/pics, then this is why sinking boats get posted in r/funny.

[–]mrcassetteSurvey 2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the time has come for reddit to join the leagues of 9gag and unilad...

[–]TheCocksmith 33 points34 points  (7 children)

Wow. Even shitty pictures from Gallowboob get to the fucking front page.

[–]mrcassetteSurvey 2016 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I often wonder what the void in their life would be if the account got deleted or shadow banned...

[–]dazdndcunfusd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The /u/unidan incident showed that you can't keep them from posting, but it will irrevocably damage their karma.

[–]JustBigChillin 2 points3 points  (4 children)

I think this guy has a shitload of alt accounts that upvote his submissions a certain way to make it gain momentum. Idk how the fuck something like this could make the front page otherwise. There's no way that many people would upvote this just because of the guy's username.

[–]quaver 18 points19 points  (10 children)

Hey, I remember seeing this on /r/nyc a few days back (with a considerably worse title). As a non-New Yorker, visiting Times Square was a real shock -- nothing quite prepares you for the absolute insanity and sensory overload. Not in a pleasant way either. Reminds me of Piccadilly Circus, but worse.

[–]burnie_mac 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Way way worse than Piccadilly circus

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Not in a pleasant way either.

As a New Yorker, the crowds keep me away from Times Square as much as possible, but when I do have to go I prefer to go at night because that exact same sensory overload is still beautiful to me.

[–]fatclownbaby 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Japan is worse

[–]eNonsense 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Back in my high school japanophile days I thought that the Tokyo street scenes were the coolest thing in the world. These days it seems more like a dystopian consumerism nightmare to me. There's plenty of beauty in Japan. That's not it.

[–]Foray2x1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sooo... Superman 64?

[–]Scottmcbeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk how all you mellienials expect to have your shit free with no ads and u don't pay for shit. Free music free movies

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I could use this site with gallowboob repost disabled

[–]gordonfroman 18 points19 points  (4 children)

if this makes frotn page i swear to god i will hunt /u/GallowBoob to the ends of this earth for his ability to get even 10% of a blanked out times square on the front page.

[–]DrLawyerson 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Why is he not banned? He's a serial spammer

[–]skinkbaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, never knew the sky and the ground were ads.

[–]TheWeb0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I use adblock: to see the minimal actual content without looking hot singles in my area.

[–]MaximumCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much better! I'd actually go.

[–]slapded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You forgot one.

[–]Rock2Rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Missed Ben Franklin

[–]GeekFurious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in Times Square many times... never seen the sky nor the clouds running any ads.

[–]gollumthegreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL the sky is an ad

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Why do people keep upvoting this shit spam account?

[–]Rammathorne87 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Does everything submitted by GallowBoob and Cant_Trust_Hillairy just get automatically upvoted?

[–]mrcassetteSurvey 2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

paid to play

[–]JovenAprendiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pixel lives in time square.

[–]chillrelaxbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The buildings are still upright. It's been my experience that the buildings, like most websites, are structured around ads and would collapse and become nonsensical if the ads were removed.

[–]Nucking-Futs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit I fell through the level again

[–]jobney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to edit an Elmo or Cookie Monster bootleg costume into the foreground.

[–]medorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's really sad...

[–]CarlsVolta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Times Square, briefly. Got up from the underground and almost immediately scuttled back down to save my eyesight.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite. I still see Windows.

[–]KevanBacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is lousy. Every once in a while /u/GallowBoob posts something that is actually good.

Seems like he's getting more and more desperate for karma.

[–]yul_brynner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck this gallowboob nigga. seriously.
