Agreed.

By adding this have I ruined the gag?

I like the idea.

But I can't get rid of the thought that it seems photoshopped.
The perspective of the white copy line is not 100% correct.

And in the wide shot the logo pops out too much.
It doesn't match with the light on the building.

But maybe I'm wrong. An extreme close up can help to sort this out.
Or shots of people putting it on the building.

Keep it real

seventysixer76, i'll help you out. Have a look at the version on the right. Then look at the top of the building where the sticker finishes, see the extra clear bit sticking over the building, which seems to be just floating in mid air, i could be wrong but that looks like a bad photoshop mistake??? Muchas Gracias

Is a nice idea but is fake, the buildings in Chile don’t allow putting advertising in the front of the windows offices, and industrial products always make corporate communication they don’t spend in btl of this big when they do business one to one, is not a massive product is a corporate product.

totally sure its fake, please keep this real.

Yo trabajo en Suramérica y conozco como funciona el negocio en el tercer mundo.

Rusio's picture 326 pencils

I think youre wrong. That extra clear area also sticks out in the side of the building.
I think its fake because in Chile nobody mentioned it. No news, no papers, nobody.
Its not something you dont notice.

klaussnow's picture 1689 pencils

is putting "wash me" somwthing they do over there in chile? I thought it was an american thing... btw not photoshoped, that is a glass railing.

... its already been done...

adstrike's picture 334 pencils

yes its fake, and is not a mistake is the glass railing.

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

'Wash me' is also a British thing.

big boys , big toys.
we used to write this on cars as youngters, now that you grown up, why not take a building. there are no limits.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Fake? Don't care.
Illegal? So what?
Scam? Big deal.
Photopshopped? Talk to the hand.
Idea? Cool!

Nice saying Rog. Some of you guys got to chill out a bit. Whether it is a scam or real work, as long as it is a good idea, it's a good idea. Period. Have some fun, after all it is just advertising.

hang-the-dj's picture 1270 pencils

Yep. Maybe Ivan needs to put a warning on the front page 'May contain traces of scams'? Keep the hardcore purists out.

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

Right on.

I really don't care if there scams.

I like it.

seventysixer76's picture 105 pencils

Hey littleluki.

"Have some fun, after all it is just advertising."

That's the whole point. It's not advertising if it's not real.
