House Money Effect
I’m sure someone could write a doctoral thesis on the juxtaposition of the two sides of this bus stop display that lurks outside my building on Washington Avenue. I have to hand it to Skyy Vodka they’ve really taken the whole phallic advertising thing to a whole new level. It reminds me of those old Highlights magazines at the dentists office; can you count the number of phallic dongs and dildoes in the Skyy Vodka Ad? The billboard on the left is a campaign by The Foundation for a Better Life, a group affiliated with the Anschutz Foundation (founded by Qwest chairman Philip Anschutz). A part of me would like to sit here and write an analyses of these two post 9-11 competing value structures but I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.
