I think it's cool. Skater guys that hang around the streets will like these.

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

Is this the future? Cheap agencies making stickers to paste on traffic signs and other ads???

This is ridiculous. Advertise responsibly ffs. Those signs are there for safety.

Ok, now signboards are like getting really really old as an idea for a communication medium...

Think fresh, ppl...!!!

Compared to what? I might as well say on 70% of the ads here "Ok, now television is like getting really really old as an idea for a communication medium." Or paper is getting old!

It's not new anymore, that's what you're trying to say.

No Ad_Man, he won't. I do skate and I do hate these stickers. They also look like shit. And, stickers? Really? Shouldn't we be creating better stuff than this? For how to reach the skater I'd rather have a look at this (student work, not executed in real life, but still a great idea): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7WCzNvlA8w

Hey! www.clandestino.mx was made before the Element idea. It's nice, but nothing new.

To do this is forbidden in my country, but ... ok.

People must NOT touch sign's... this can be dangerous. (this is a good bad idea)

Enough with the defacing of signs. Seriously.

This is the same thing as those God awful spray paint stencils that were so "popular" a few years back. Yeah, it's FREE, but it's ILLEGAL. Which, believe it or not, is a pretty sure fire clue that this is SCAM.

Come on people. Try a little harder, shall we?

This will confuse the drivers - should have been little more innovative

sandhya rao's picture 181 pencils

finding the sign-boards again...may find many more stickers or ads sticked on the sign board...is it a sign-board or bill-board?

All the stickers were 100% easily removable vinyl not traditional style stickers.

I have to agree with CurryJ on this one. We just saw the bicycle shop sign sticker, and the pacifier sticker on the Have You Heard About the Morgans. Normally, promotional stickers are a good idea, but when they're placed ongovernment property or other people's work, they're not regardless of how clever they may look.
