Animated Ads in a Subway Near You

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rediscovering-the-flipbook dept.

prostoalex writes "A company called Sub Media claims a successful launch of motion-picture ads in New York subway. The ad agency, created by a PhD in Astrophysics, prints ads on Kodak transparencies, so that when the train speeds up, the resulting images create a full-blown motion picture. The first ever ad of this was run for Target in NY, and there is another one planned for Discovery Channel."

    I personally hate ads. We are bombarded with them on tv, on the internet, and in the real world. With ads in subways, this has gone too far... I suppose I will have to drive my suv to the local market now instead of taking the subway.

    ...it will be illegal to view an ad and not buy the advertised product. After all, you are stealing the money the company spent to bring you the ad.
