right. kind of the same mentality as wearing coca-cola? "brands are cool"
- "ads are cool" - "imitating ads is cool"

i've got no facts on this but i suspect that there's a much bigger penalty
for drawing on an outdoor ad than for drawing on an outdoor wall... in
finland, that is.

the loesje signature started making a bit more sense when i found out it
actually is supposed to be a signature. it's a common dutch girl name.
they explain that it's supposed to make the statements (or whatever they
are) appear more personal and less intimidating/bureaucratic. works
exactly in the opposite way though, at least for me, and probably for
anyone who is not accustomed to loesje being a common name... pretty bad
thinking for an international campaign, if you ask me!

bummer.

i guess i've said this before, but there's no justice in a world where
.info & .tv & .museum are top-level domain names, but ".sucks" is NOT.
