Fake.

Fake as a mother****er. Why launch on Friday. Everyone goes out Friday night.

[dj2k10]

its fake ginge

[*mazedsalv**]

It must be fake. BB have never done stuff like this before revealing on the website the actual date... so why put it on the billboard without informing us before :/ also against the world cup, that would be the last thing they want.

[Joe.]

I think it may be fake also- + it's the day of the world cup start :P

Maybe they figure they'll catch the people that are staying in for the world cup and might catch them at half time or on an ad break and get them hooked :)

Or it could be scheduled immidietly after the world cup? What time does it finish?

it looks real to me, the same amount of fuzz is over the whole photo :)

If the marketing and promotional department of Channel 4 was being headed by a Doberman, then yeah, that would be a genius plan.

Yeah, the ol' photo editing software can work some real magic.

I doubt it, because:

1) They'd have confirmed online/in the press if the launch date was on billboards
2) The World Cup starts then, they'd have to be deluded [hmm...] to start it then

plus why would it say "starts june" on the tube billboard and "starts 11th june" on the bus?

There's a cursor on that picture - it's a screenshot of a bus on street view, with the advert plastered onto it.

[BBDodge]

BB's highest ever launch night ratings were for BB5 and that was on a Friday.

They are allowed to keep the crowd on site until 11pm on a Friday compared to 10pm on other days so a Friday night launch would permit a post-watershed live launch show.

However, that photo is a fake.

lmfao, I just noticed that - inbetween the two windows on the white building

[DigitalSid]

Fake, photoshop move cursor above the bus.

well spotted!!

Haha seen it now :P

Good spot, they could have at least blurred it in :P

Because I didn't mention that 5205820458 posts ago, lol.

We know you didn't, it was 2.


Wonder why people insist on putting effort into coming up with fake crap.

[crossieKIDD]

epic fail hahahahahaha

[janaddy86]

Fake, photoshop move cursor above the bus.

Ha ha. Nice.

[janaddy86]

It could have been cropped smaller in PS though.

Biut it wasn't, it's a fake for sure.

Edit: Actually, scrub that first bit. Why would a move cursor, or any cursor for that matter, be saved on the pic anyway? I think it's been added to make people question it.

[georgehudson]

it looks real to me, the same amount of fuzz is over the whole photo :)

I think it looks real too :conf:

[biggestbrother]

Glad it's fake. Now maybe we'll get BB a week earlyer! :D

[Stu]

How could anyone fall for that, seriously? The picture is not flat, seems to have some sort of screen feedback on it, and looks more like a screencap or an actual photo of a screen than something snapped on a busy high street.

[GypsyGoth]

Wow the 11th of June, and I hear BB is going to have a cogs theme :thumbs:

[keithafc]

It should of started last month. I can't believe they are going to start the series when the world cup is under way. At least start it a week before the world cup starts.

[janaddy86]

My money is still on the 9th.

My money is still on the 9th.

And mine :)

Why would they want us to question it? The only explination for the photoshop move cursor is the faker screenshoting and pasting their work before saving it, why they'd do that is anyone's guess.

Fair point. Twisted minds.

[DigitalSid]

Or that instead of saving their work, they photographed it, which on second look seems more likely, in which case they're an ejit.

Didn't read past the picture, spotted it pretty much straight away and hit reply.

More likely I'd say.

Well spotted, Sam. :thumbs:

Joe clueless as ever. :hugesmile:

[AJ.]

Obv fake, hope it does start on the 11th though.
