> I'm picturing walking past this billboard with my kid and having him ask "Daddy, why does that kid look all beat up" and answering "no, that kid looks perfectly normal, you're making it up". Nice.

Wow. I hadn't thought of that at all. That is absolutely terrible. Maybe there should be a disclaimer on the ad for the kid about how parents and kids see 2 different things on the billboard?

And yeah, good teachers will take note of that and take care of it; though it can make for some really rough beginnings:

"Hey, Jacob, why are you wearing make-up?" the teacher inquires, noticing that there's a really bad makeup job on one of her male student's faces, around their eye.

"Eh, it's nothing, I just thought it'd be fun, to!" the kid nervously responds regarding.




Lenticular displays look a bit funny to begin with. If someone draws your attention to it, you'll notice something's up, then start moving your head around to figure it out. It's not like this would cause a traumatic misunderstanding between child and parent.


I think the disclaimer would defeat the whole purpose of the ad.


And it would be hard to explain with any brevity.


Haha, I think he means a disclaimer only on the kid's side.


Probably, but as artursapek pointed out that would likely be difficult to convey.


No, no, disclaimer at the kid's perspective, not the adult's.
