Puma ads featuring golden-shoed Jamaican sprinter Usain “Lightning” Bolt, Beijing hero and the world’s fastest man, are currently up all over New York City, above and below ground. But to place ads in subway stations these days is to place them in the playground of the fast-working poster remixer Poster Boy. Here, the artist has transformed the bombastic Bolt into an insane Ronald the clown. While McDonald’s claims they don’t have an official marketing relationship with the speedster, their brass must’ve pissed themselves when Bolt told reporters he ate McNuggets, and nothing but McNuggets, before his Olympic races. Nice work, Poster Boy. By the way, novice NYC marathon runners? Don’t follow Bolt’s lead in two weeks and eat Mickey D’s pre-race, or you’ll be shitting your shorts come around the 10-mile mark.
