a gorgeous pigeon statuette. I love that phrase.
Is that really the outdoor poster advertising an outdoor awards festival?
Surely, 1.28, if you’re commenting you know what the ad is referencing…
No, 3.09, I don’t know what it’s referencing.
Not sure what your point is.
No big surprise there was no response to the question. Hard to defend.
It was referencing the Have longer lasting sex ads. Remember they had to take the word ‘sex’ off?
I like it. But I hope all those ‘ignore me’ and ‘i hate pigeons’ ads don’t pick anything up.
No, never saw them. Which is a shame considering I imagine I’m not alone. Or if punters who have seen them don’t get the link, and nobody’s there to explain it as they pass by.
Which brings it back to the original question – is this really the best outdoor creative work an awards event celebrating outdoor creative work could muster?
