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...

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

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 .

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