<excerpt> "It's a teaser campaign," said Xbox's general manager, Alan Bowman. The graffiti campaign was about getting its target audience talking, he said. "The street campaign is about creating a bit of intrigue, and mystery. "We have hired a third-party company to do the street sprays ... I can't remember who they are, but we have not sprayed the X in areas where the councils are known to be strict about these sort of things. I haven't heard of any councils being upset by the logos.'' </excerpt> They can't remember who's doing the spraying for them? They might have created more intrigue and mystery than they had intended. How sloppy, the advertising agency shouldn't expect any repeat business, maybe they just did a ring around from the Yellow Pages (under 'G' for 'Graffitists'). And how considerate of them to avoid areas where councils are known to be fussy about this sort of thing. It seems they can add South Sydney Council to their list of sensitive councils. Naturally when my employer IBM did a similar thing in San Francisco, Chicago and New York with their "Peace, Love and Linux" campaign it was really groovy and beyond reproach. :) Stuart. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
