Snapshot: Zen Advertising
Empty billboards in the subway, felt very strange. "Buy nothing day" came early this year...
/O.K. Listening to while posting: Jens Johansson - A mote in god's eye
No, I don't. Either they ran out of posters or perhaps it is the beginning of a _very_ clever campaign, hehe. Well, I don't really believe so, just hoping. Empty billboards in the whole city for a week... :)
The amazing thing is that one is so used to this visual noise that the absence of it seems strange.

It is like out of some really mysterious or avantgarde movie, it looks so unreal. Do you know why the ads are gone?

This reminds me of the book NO LOGO. Or maybe the advertising company is on strike :)
