Advertising "Works"?

Seen on a bus shelter,

On the left the people that run the adverts on the bus shelters trying to convince passers by that "Advertising Works."

On the right, probably the least effective advert ever to appear on a bus shelter in the Bay since some one wrote, "Say No To War" in paint on a bus shelter in Paignton just before Our Tony went looking for 'Weapons of Mass Distraction'. Well, lets get it right, he didn't go looking. He sent our brave boys to do the actual looking.

Is it just me, or does nobody who is waiting for a bus actually see the advert on the right? Effective advertising...

Maybe it's aimed at people who's native tongue reads right to left? In which case I think it is prejudiced against those people, suggesting they can't catch the bus properly. Or maybe its prejudiced against people who read right to left, depriving those people of vital public information.

Either way, somebody should pay a lawyer lots and lots of money to take this to court.

Cynical, moi?

Clever that, put an advert for people waiting for a bus on the OUTside of the stop...

Or do passengers have xray eyes down south?
