....partly in reaction against last year's outdoor grand prix winner.... Uh? Did they not realize last year that the Grand Prix poster winner was not advertised on "traditional" poster space?If the space [of a poster] has been paid for, does it matter where the poster goes? Posters inside a shop might be "point of sale" but what about the 'wild posters' plastered on building construction sites and so on? They are paid for media.
"They claimed the decision was overturned partly in reaction against last year's outdoor Grand Prix winner from Leo Burnet in Norway, for an Oslo tattoo parlour."

same client, same small ad country - Norway.
This is interesting.
We just had a thread on adlist a while back about PETA's disregard for humans in their anti-stance. For example, the anti-baby-seal fur propaganda was so effective in not mentioning that seals are a staple diet and whole populations have nothing else to live off, that when the consumers refused seal, out of work hunters comitted suicide en masse.
But baby seals are cuter than grown men, right?
I have to add what Alec said on adlist:
In a related story, all Nike ads have been banned thanks to repeated calls
by angry people who have no feet. The group claims Nike ads are mocking them
and their abridged-leg status. Reebok, adidas, Footjoy, Asics and New
Balance have also been named in this new suit claiming emotion distress.
Further, overweight people have now banded together to form an alliance
against fast-food advertisers. Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy
