Shockvertising billboard made more palatable by lamb
Posted on 24. Feb, 2012 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising
Understandably this billboard that was erected in the Bronx, NYC caused outrage…and this week was removed.
The ad for Wódka, which read “Escort Quality, Hooker Pricing,” was displayed over the Bruckner Expressway, a major artery leading to Hunt’s Point, a neighborhood notorious for its prostitute-riddled streets.
It’s probably better to get rid of the thing. It’s tasteless and not very well executed in any case. But we do wonder what the creative person, that came up with it, was thinking with the cute lamb that offsets the strong copy? Lambs wearing sombreros are very distracting.

It’s hilarious. Perhaps their thinking was that Russians on the whole, are generally associated with bad taste. Their interior decor style proves it. That sombrero however, has me foxed.
