Outside of my office's window I can see a billboard about 2 blocks away from my apartment. For about 30 minutes every couple of hours it flashes red, blue, white and purple at about 3 different colors per second, with the following text in the middle: "You should advertise here!"
It honestly blows my mind how someone can look at it and think it's a good idea, instead of how absurd that someone is allowed to put up a giant seizure machine in one of a city's busiest streets.
I used to think that advertisement had gone too far when it was used to track people online, but a literal real life recreation of the iCarly episode where Spencer causes a traffic accident using a billboard caught me by surprise.

Though, depending on where you live, there may still be rules against it (some places set the limit at 2Hz), so it may be worth reporting it. Flashing signs like that are still very rude, though.
