Liquidation World banner, Hamilton City Centre
These banners have been on the side of the Hamilton City Centre (what an original name), formerly the Eaton Centre, for years, but still are well deserving of this month's atrocity.
If this isn't the tackiest example of sign-litter, I don't know what it is. I'm not entirely opposed to outdoor advertising, but these cheap versions of billboards are ridiculously oversized.
Maybe if the blank wall had some windows, the banners wouldn't be there. At least the blank wall didn't make my eyes reverberate.
