I can see just how well this worked.

Actually they're my friend!

Should the reminder be next to the escalator, rather than on the stairs?

"Bowww Wowww"

Yea...I think it would work better by the escalator too.
Still a nice idea though.

Agreed. I actually think this is a great line, but it needs to be placed at the entry point of the ESCALATOR. Plus the photo should show people taking the stairs, NOT the escalator. Such amateurish mistakes. Again, details ruining a good idea.

Tired idea. >>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

the visual just made me laugh...

Escalator- 2, stairs- 0.

I think this message should be placed on every step of escalator. and the line is very lame...escalators are your enemy. It could be made more interesting.

Escalators are your friend if you are:
Old
Sick
Too young
Too drunk
Not a creative dreaming of Cannes

Boring, lame line, unimaginative idea.

It would work though so as an ad it does it's job.

Not the sort of thing I'd want to be pimping on an ad critque site though. Just wastes the time of people looking to see something inspiring/though provoking/funny/enlightening/unique...

I get enough correct but dull stuff on my desk on a daily basis. I come here for some light relief. (NO not that kind of 'relief')

Too late, my pants are down.

no

I can't see any ieda here.

Why isn't anyone using the stairs?

If you can't get that bit right you've got no business being in advertising.

Coz they're Australian?! :D

This is a terrible solution compared to "Don“t let the machines win", done by Crispin/porter - USA

the line doesnt excite me
