How I wish I had a photo, but since it was always night time and I was on the bus, I couldn’t.
Anyway, along the Camp Aguinaldo stretch of the north bound lane of EDSA, I always pass by two huge screens. On good days, both screens display ads; on not-so-good days, they both have static displays. To be honest, I don’t find the ads attractive and impressive. They are just two Powerpoint slides, one a static text slide, and the other a slide with video.
What’s so annoying about these screens?
One: one version of the static ad says ‘Multimedia display’.
Two: another version of the static ad says ‘Home are the fallen heroes’, with a buttefly emerging from a hand on one side, and a picture of a coffin on the other. Below everything is the text ‘Advertise here [phone number]’. How tacky can you get.
Also, as a filler, sometimes the ad goes like this: Support your AFP, advertise here. You know, there’s an implied statement there: if you don’t advertise here, you are a destabilizer.
Ok, you’re anti-establishment streak just got too exposed in the AFP one. Haha. That’s pushing it too far. :p
Oi, Benj, nice to see you drop by in these neck of the woods. Yah, I know – a friend said the same thing. Well, it is a provocative thought, no? He he.
Multimedia display my ass. If it’s nothing but moving pictures, it’s just singlemedia.
I can’t verify it it has audio, so I dunno.
Hahaha. Remind me to replace those menoboard filler ads with my company’s ads.
Will do. That is, if I myself remember he he.
