This ad is one of several involved as part of a national advertising campaign designed to show that Outdoor Advertising does work and can elicit a response. I think that this is a bold move by the aforementioned association, first of all, they are spending over a million Great British Pounds on this campaign, which may just generate bad feeling. Part of me thinks this is cool, but then I also think it is a bit sad that in order to prove something works, they have to resort to using this type of phrase. I would much prefer a creative ad, that is clever or unexpected rather than one that is merely controversial in order to provoke an angered response.

What do you think? Is this a good idea? A waste of money? Does outdoor advertising work?
