Sparrow Guitars: Shine
Shine on stage. Not in the basement.
Stop playing games. Start playing guitar.
In 2009, more Guitar Hero guitars were sold than actual ones. We thought that was kinda crazy, so we created this poster campaign for Sparrow Guitars to remind people there¹s just no substitute for the real thing.

twice the same ad? Or am I missing details?
its a campaign
wrong file I think...
writer should break a guitar over their own head. a toy one, or a real one.
This line sucks. You can practice on a real guitar in the basement as well. A valid difference would be like... Do you want geek admirers or hot chick fans? Something like this.
What about people who play real guitar and play rhythm-games for fun?
cause insulting a potential customer is always a good idea.
More bicycles were bought in the first quarter of 2009 than cars. I don't remember a Ford campaign against this.
Oh my god you guys are way to sensitive! Try reading the fine print under the image where it says "in 2009, more Guitar Hero guitars were sold than actual ones..." Then think about the ad. It's just like all those "get out and play" ads they've got goin. In my opinion this is very clever.
