The closest thign relating to that i can think of are little signs with advertisements on them that they have at beaches or in cities...:uhm:

Not sure what they are called though, i'd go with Notice Bulletins...:uhm:

Information centers? I don't know, I've never seen any in the U.S.

"advertising columns"

Re: Question on english term for certain object
 

If they have a specific name, I've never heard it.

And if no other English speaking people have ever heard of it, and online translators/translation dictionaries don't give you a word for it, then it's safe to say that you could probably get away with any of the terms given here.

I personally would call it "a big frickin' post with adverts 'n shit on it". I suggest you go with that one.

" I personally would call it "a big frickin' post with adverts 'n shit on it". I suggest you go with that one." hmm shouldt be too far off from the official label for it :D.

Thanks for the suggestions made though, ohwell i just keep it at an adv. pilar/column then.

Kiosk would be the closest think I can think of, although they usually have people at them, I actually don't know.

I would just call it useless!! We dont have these in the US. Except for when people put posters on light poles....other then that we prefer to have our stuff flat so you can read it easier I think...

Attached are some good one's for ya!!
