Another example of creative overreaching practical. Great idea (though we often question the effectiveness of one-off bus shelters vs. running additional print or radio) BUT a better execution would have been to vent the top of the sign to attract added attention. As-is the box fills up too quickly and looks like a house fire. I understand why they would use a smoke machine vs. real steam (condensation on glass) but in this case one can see some of its drawbacks. It's really only effective when constantly steaming, so it NEEDS to vent somewhere.

No it doesn't. It works just fine.

This is great! I'm wondering the logistics of this thing? Absolutely superb! :)

I'm here doing this, but feel I should be there doing that. But to do that, I have to be doing this. Does this make sense or do I have to explain that?

The idea is GREAT, but something gone wrong, because almost everybody gone away from the ad.
