you just never know with advertising
OK!
So there you sit pondering whether you should be disturbed by the kid drinking gas, or the underage homo eroticism.... me too pals...me too!...
Let me explain what is going on here. This is a controversial ad for a swiss bus company called Flygbussarna who recently announced a plan to increase the use of rapeseed oil-based biofuel in its fleet, with the goal of being completely fossil-fuel free in three years.
The company launched an ad campaign this week to promote its green-fuel credentials, using posters which show people, including children, drinking from fuel pumps with the Flygbussarna logo.The text of the ads insinuates that the company’s rapeseed-based fuel is safe enough to drink.
Granted these ads are offensive, confusing and can potentially influence children to consume all sorts of poisonous substances (or appendages)... does the controversy shine light on their effort to become fossil-fuel free?
I think it does...but again... it's a question of ethics...
decide for yourself !
