I'm going to guess Compton, it's in both his forum name and his photobucket name.

Why so easy to label this fake? When inspected, the poster looks very much like the advertisements they put on the sides of bus stops and on the sides of streets in NYC or any other major city. If you look, the poster appears to be sealed in glass and have a metal edging. Also, it kind of looks as if there is an urban background, with building and street behind it. This looks real to me. Don't be so easy to throw away. Tough crowd with this movie, huh?

Another thing I'd like to add. The ads on the sides of city streets are illuminated at night, such as the one in the photo. You can see that the poster is lit from behind, this makes it legit enough for me.

the kanji.
anything looks cooler when you add kanji to it and that's why i'm suspicious.
the lights do look pretty legit though.

i said leaning towards fake...i'm not saying it is yet.

a location would calm down my suspicions though.

if he's from Compton...hell i'll drive down there right now and scope it out...but it think he just loves Band of Brothers

kyodaina - huge, enormous, gigantic, massive
Not the exact translation, still waiting for that, have not found the last symbol.

So it has something to do with something enormous.

It's a real poor spot to put the lettering, right over the destroyed gap in the skyscrapers.

Buck Compton was one of the WWII soldiers featured in Band of Brothers. The real Buck Compton is still alive...I don't think this is him. Smile
