Thanks Davai. That was a nice ad. I still wouldn't say these were lifted from that one or even inspired. There could be other ones which resemble these but I'm seeing this idea for the first time and I liked it.

i think it need a intellectual gymnastic to get the point.

Everybody is creative, be yourself.

I don't think these have got anything to do with intellect. I took me a while to 'spot' the idea, after that everything fell in place. It works for me if it's original.

I don't get it. How is nature returning the favour in these ads? By blocking the license plate?....

@mr.x Because it's a speed camera, if the cops can't see the plate then they can't identify you and book you....

Not cool way to show Eco friendly. Comparing eco favours in return of one less speeding ticket??
