This is what I call a good old fashioned ad.

finally something that is not looking like a ghost ad. Welcome to reality :-) It doesn't have to be fake to be good. But I must admit that the long text is not very attractive anyway...

I like it.
Very nice copy and appropriate image. Smart and clean.
I don't see a problem with that long body copy, because you don't even have to read that if you want to get the ad. It's fully optional. If you place it in outdoor media, like in the bus stops - body copy also will do it's job.
