Officials in Papakura, New Zealand have come up with a billboard that bleeds when it rains. They hope it will encourage drivers to slow down when the weather makes conditions dangerous. Since the billboards have been erected, there hasn't been a fatal accident in the area.

but I don't think it's really blood. Seems to be some kind of red liquid to simulate blood, I think.
"Leaking" might be a better word to describe it, I wouldn't use "bleeding" myself.

Not reported are those deaths caused by folks either watching or cringing away from the image of a giant boy bleeding out his nostrils and eyebrows. ...followed by a sign that said...burma shave.

I think that is a pretty cool idea, what better way to get your average 16 year old chucklehead to pay attention and not drive head on into my mom on the road, then to remind him that getting in accidents cause signs to bleed at random in New Zealand...........and also forces people to kill cute puppies and kittens.........
Damn kids! get off my lawn!

Did they really realize that they basically made a menstruating billboard? At least it doesn't yell at people or have emotional breakdowns.

After watching the video, the real cause of accidents is clear: they drive on the wrong side of the road!

We should better let them know then.
They should immediately start cutting and stabbing actual living things on top of that billboard, or stop calling it "bleeding".

In related news, the New Zealand Health Bureau has stepped up calls for donors in the midst of what is being called "the greatest blood shortage crisis our nation has ever known."

And if you count India, you should count it for both sides.
I am not sure how to tell which side they prefer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM [youtube.com]
