Idea: Thai National Reconciliation Tee

Just returned from Bangkok. The country is divided between the poor north (red shirts) and bourgeois south (yellow shirts). The stand off is longer then 7 weeks.

It would be cool if tourists, in support for Thai national reconciliation, start wearing red-yello t-shirts!

Everything is OK

Danny and Charlie go out to St Paul's Cathedral, the London Stock Exchange, and the Bank of England spreading a universal message of peace and love.



Danny cheering up the miserable commuters on the Northern Line, London July 2009:

Examples of truely engaging advertising!

Another smartly mutilated billboard in Berlin mitte. Headline on the poster reads:

Never before the white was so red.

It looks like someone got on the scaffoldings behind the poster, cut it through and poured some red paint on the car.

Also a couple of days ago I was driving by a billboard ... the ad featured big packshot of Lucky Strikes cigarettes with some headline. What was really amusing - over the packshot someone thickly sprayed: Ich rauche joint! (I smoke joints!). I didn't have my camera then to take a snap, but when I returned the next day - the billboard was already replaced! That's German efficiency for you ;).

I wonder, as this anti-ads activism is growing (at least in the urban hipster areas for now) what are they going to do when it starts happening on a regular basis and everywhere? To place 24 hour police guards next to every billboard in the city? Or make less boring ads?

More examples:










Headline: Berlin is liquidly again! Tag: So what?





Headline: Everywhere free television! Tag: Distraction ("television" crossed out)




self congratulating poster: "We are the best electricity provider of 2008!"
crossed out and signed: "The client"

I am lovin' it?

Here's some stuff from Rebelbaby who did some tagging in Busan, South Korea.
The MacDonalds ad - yes, I am lovin' it ;))

I ___THIS AD / the idea

This campaign was devised with an objective to raise the level of consumer awareness about the quality of outdoor advertising in a city.
The idea - members of the public are invited to tag advertising posters with stickers reflecting their personal opinions about the ads.
The campaign kicked off in Berlin and continued in Seoul.
Below are some pics from October 2006.
