You're looking at a Google cached image that was blown up by the shutterfly upload process. The actual google image was tiny and you can't read the "better luck next time" graffiti.
I'm looking for the larger, higher-res version of this. The subtervise.org site appears to be the only one that has it and that site is down.
I'm googled out - thought maybe someone had this and could send it to
clark-dot-gordon-at-eds-dot-com .
danke,

Denis ,
basically the ad is saying "Volvo, you gave birth to a boy (the car). And it weighs 4,397 lbs."
The feminists wrote "better luck next time"... as in "hopefully it will be a daughter/girl next time."
I didn't get it at first either.

Is your girlfriend not a feminist? When I first started speaking to you, I swear you said something really quite the opposite to the above statement. meh. Maybe I dreamt it.

Come to think of it, you're right - it might not give her a laugh...it might remind her that she's got a degree in women's studies and that she hates men and that she now has to hunt me down and kill me because I sent it to her.
Err mebbe not.

Yeah - its a pretty extreme lesbian/feminist thing.
The purpose of the graffiti is to say "too bad you had a son..." get it? They do not like men...like, at all.
I'm just looking for the image.
I'm sure this girl will get a kick out of it...since she's not so hard core...bi actually and rather hot. ;-)

I'm sorry - I thought it might be a little more obvious.
It is a picture of a billboard from somewhere in the UK in the 1980's.
You can see that it says "To Volvo, a son. 4397 Pounds."
What you can't see in this pic is the graffiti - someone (lesbians) spraypainted "better luck next time!" along with the lesbian symbol of two female mirror symbols joined at the head.
I wanted to give a lesbain friend of mine a laugh, was looking for the image using google. Google found it here:
http://subvertise.org/img_big/41.jpg and cached it, but the site is dead.
The google thumbnail is too small to show the graffiti, so the image is useless.
Google link: http://images.google.com/images?q=%22better%20luck%20next%20time%22%20volvo&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=wi
Sorry - again, I though some might recognize the image and remember it.

Sorry, the only Volvo advertisements I collect are the "drive it like you hate it" series. |

I have no idea what this is. You speak of it as if it were common knowledge. What am I missing? Please explain?
