Advertisers in Norway have found a new way to catch the attention of passing motorists -- they're painting messages on grazing cows, according to a Local 6 News report.
The ads are spray-painted on the cows backs and sides for items like caps, headbands and casual clothes.
The cows on Ivar Loene's farm were painted with the word "BULA" -- an American apparel company, according to the report.
The herd will apparently star in upcoming commercials, according to the report.
