Some of these may be staged - i have my suspicions about one (not necessarily the Starbucks, either)

Ah yes, the Wildrose bus. That was real, and created a bit of a stir up here in the Frozen North.

My favourite bus ad was one i saw in London in 1990 - for an Australian near-beer.

In big letters down the side of the bus it said "It won't make a pom tiddly."

The one i suspect might have been staged is the one with the guy standing in front of the open-air snack bar with the Coke ad on the front...

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

I'm aware, but but the visual of Winnie the Pooh facepalming the ad amused me, so I shared it from my thoughtful spot.

Yep. I loved that one. Like all the rest of my photos from Cropredy 1990 and '92 trips, the pic of that one was lost in one of my many moves.
