Probably not a good idea, but very funny.

OMG. This is pure genius. Thanks for posting this.
Ha ha ha! Very clever!
This was part of an outdoor ad campaign for CH-9 Media in Malaysia. It won the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Lions 2004 Award for Outdoor and Print.
Bummer to hear was an ad.
Yeah. Sucks this concept was driven by the underlying need to advertise something, as if we aren’t already bombarded with advertisements as it is. That considered, however, it seems that creativity such as this becomes only way, or at least one of the few remaining ways, to stand out in an ad-plastered world. Still, it’s a shame this type of creativity need be used for selling something.
Interesting, i’ve learned something new today.
