Top: Garnier—"The cure for parched, damaged hair." Ad agency: Publicis, Frankfurt. Bottom: Düsseldorf has the largest Japanese community in Germany.

Meanwhile, the Ad Creep takeover of every available space/thing in our lives continues, unabated.

An Alberta brewery has been doing that for the past 4 years... stacking 2 on end & making them into beer cans.

It's been rather good for them.

They also actively recruit farmers. The ads are really effective on the highway.
