why would it be: "your eyeball here" ? that doesn't even make sense. How about "your vision here"

It very well could be perceived as "vision". The "Your" part is still the same. On that notion you could say "Your vectorized eye picture here" or "Your eye drawing here" or whatever one perceives that image to be.

The correct answer though is "Your eyes here" because thats where your eyes go when looking at a billboard. Speaking of witty billboards...

I think it is a reference to advertising. Like it attracts your eye to it, like on a mall map where it says "you are here"
Just my take on the message.

Hasn't anyone seen "They Live?" These prints are exactly like the billboards in that movie(first one waaay more so). They all have cryptic messages on them, but only visible once the glasses are on. I like this print a lot.

Is this release coming with special glasses like the 3D print?

The website address points to a site in Germany. It's pretty common to re-dub or re-master or photo-retouch ads into English when they're entered into international advertising shows (like the massively big show in Cannes that follows the film festival everyone's familiar with), since the judges/jurists use English as the lingua franca.

In this case, I think the German agency should have found an English proofer.

I kind of like the first one, really wish there was more going on.

Pretty simple if you ask me. You did'nt ,but i'll tell you anyway. It's getting your attention is'nt it? Thats it's job. It's telling you to look here. Focus your eye here. Not literally put your eyeball there or anything. that would be silly now would'nt it?

It's the billboard saying , "never mind the pretty lady , look at me".

I guess its just a knock at advertising? I dunno. Maybe Admonkey could clear that up. And yeah i do understand the whole THEY LIVE thing too.

If that was the care, don't you think the woman would have looked prettier?

Regardless. The women placed where it is should be the focus. But the billboard has other ideas. Like me for buying this LOL.
