    Maxim magazine celebrated its 100th issue by building a 75-by-110-foot billboard featuring its cover image of Eva Longoria, billed as "TV's Sexiest Earthling." The billboard doesn't tower over a highway, however. It's flat on the ground so that it can be seen from a satellite.

    It took 25 hours to print the magazine cover on a vinyl mesh windscreen. A nine-person team worked 15 hours to assemble it on the ground using 125 stakes and 2,400 feet of airline cable.

    Showgirls pose as push pins to hold down the billboard.
