Advertisements serve a huge purpose and one thing those creative ad agency folk set out to do, is impress. If you're not talking about a poster you've just seen or an advert you've just watched, well then the truth is, they haven't done a very good job. Over on Twitter there is one account that has gathered some of the greatest billboards and advertisements together. Brilliant Ads has selected some of the most clever captions, images and slogans from around the globe. Here are some of our favourites.
