Someone on TikTok posted a video showing a 'LOL CRYBABIES' billboard with a can of Bud Light on it. UPDATE 4/21/23: it has been confirmed that this billboard was NOT real, according to numerous fact checks. AP reported on it, giving details of it's location and what was really on the billboard:
But the billboard, located in Toronto, does not contain an advertisement for Bud Light, an executive at Branded Cities, the advertising company which owns the billboard, told the AP. It has the same blue background as the one in the altered image, but it says “All these and more only on Disney +.”
“Our billboard was altered in the images that have been circulating on social media,” Toby Sturek, president of Branded Cities’ Canadian division, wrote in an email. Sturek also sent the AP an image of the current billboard, which features the ad for Disney+, which he said has been up for about a week.
The AP determined the location of the billboard by doing a Google search for the restaurant — Gyro Bar — which is located beneath the sign. Branded Cities’ name appears on the lower right corner of the billboard.
