Bob Megleren: I'm Sure No One Noticed


This is the back of a bus in Bergen, Norway. Bob Megleren is some sort of realtor there. Be very careful if he asks if you have enough living space.

Unnerving translation: "We are ready... with 60 years experience... Bob Megleren - that's why."

Thanks to Ank!

Lebensraum: Still A Good Idea; provided your real estate agent doesn't resort to invading Poland to obtain that new flat.

i don't see what the hitler thing has to do with this at all.
It's completely irrelevant.
The placement of the number on the back of the bus is a different story.

What does a picture appearing on the side or back of a bus have to do with Photoshopping anyway? Nothing that I can see.

Well, having worked at a graphic design place, and done work for vehicle signage... I think that's what it has to do with Photoshop. Quite a lot really.

Lovise said...

Haha... I've been looking for that bus with my camera for a month, but everytime I see it my camera is home. Looks like soeone had the same idea. It really is bad placing of picture. Maybe it isn't a mistake done in photoshop, but photoshop could have helped anyway.

"Be very careful if he asks if you have enough living space."

If you need two, three or four thousand square feet of space, then we will now give you 150,000, 180,000, 230,000, 300,000 or 400,000 sq ft, or more!

The hour will come when one or the other of us will crumble, but the house will probably last quite a while since it is pretty solidly built.

It's not fake, that's a vent on the back of the bus that they can't cover.

Rune Jensen said...

This is simply stupid.. It does not look like a mustache, and it has nothing to do with photoshop..

If you think it has nothing to do with photoshop then you've never done artwork for a bus wrap.

Keep all of this stuff coming.

Can someone explain to me why people go onto sites they pay absolutely nothing to see and complain about the work the site operator has done? "This isn't photoshopped," "you're reaching," blah blah blah. Is it really THAT fun to criticize people anonymously?

His name isn't Bob Megleren. It stands for Bob, realtor!

Reidar of Bergen said...

Bobmegleren is a subcompany of BOB, Bergen og Omegn Boligbyggelag. In english "Bergen Area Real estate company".

I used to live in a BOB flat and I find this quite amusing. The company is in my opinion more old fashioned half communal. And now they are sudddenly waving rock signs and accidental Hitler moustaches.

I've been wanting to take a picture of that bus for a long time. It cracks me up every time I see it, because the persons responsible MUST have known how it would turn out.

Anonymous who said it was fake: it most certainly is not. :p

Jeezzeez, I love the fuzz...
I am the designer responsible for the advert (inhouse graphical deign for BOBmegleren).
I simply love the "mistake" made when mounting this advert on some of the busses. It kinda adds spice to the overall response this ad has got.IT GET NOTICED (maybe for the wrong reasons...but that doesn`t matter)
Only a few busses has the "Hitler-profile" due to different bodydesign of the rear end.
The majority of busses with the ad are OK...
Surprisingly enough - the fingers (rock on - devils horn) made a lot more fuzz in certain religious parts of local population...
The photographer is by the way Sharon Dominick, aviable on istockphoto.com. She is absolutely faboulus

Sharon DOES rock, one of the best on iStock! The coolest thing about her work is, she is often her own model, particularly the funny stuff (with fisheye.) Great use of the image, and funny coincidence.

So what's the fun part? That it looks like she has some kind of hitler mustach?

Reply: Yeah. Charlie Chaplin (who was born the same month and year as Hitler, if history class has taught me anything) had it first and it was real cute on him.

Kyron said...

I dont doubt that it's real, it just seems there are so many unregistered types going on about how they have seen it, (You know, like someone pretending to be multiple people to try and make it seem, well, true). But i cant say thats true, it just seems odd so many people in bergen go on this site, and just so happen to see the same bus route (Well, unless every bus route has the number there).

Claudia Carlsen said...

It's true! We live in Bergen and my husband showed me the bus the other day! We noticed it both of us and had a good laugh!!

Here is another real estate agency in Norway, that advertises with "contact your local devil". Check out this adress: http://www.vl.no/samfunn/article3452715.ece.
