Well, to answer the question you need to know the backstory of this Norte Photoblocker. Turns out over in Argentina a popular beer brand Cerveza Norte has teamed up with ad agency Del Campo Naazca Saatchi & Saatchi.

More than just a fancy ad campaign, the Norte Photoblocker is a real world gadget that’s been deployed and field tested in several locations, with startling results. It also figured in a number of commercials, one of which can be viewed below:
