Nikon, not Canon!
Great article... the image of a camera in add #9 is a Nikon though, not a Canon. Specifically, it seems to be the model sold in the USA as the D100: http://nikonimaging.com/global/products/digitalcamera/slr/d100/img/pic_0...
Cheers!

The camera bus is actually not an ad for the camera. It is for Yodobashi Camera, which is a big electronics superstore chain in Japan.

Neither Nikon nor Canon
Technically, it's an ad for Yodobashi's camera department. Yodobashi is an amazing electronics store in Japan.
I knew that my katakana-reading ability would come in handy someday! "Yo-do-ba-shi-ka-me-ra" ;-)

I Beg Your Pardon!
Calling someone an "idiot" because s/he wrote "add" instead of "ad"--but corrected it him- or herself (thereby indicating a slip-up instead of a moronic error) is arguably WORSE than the first "offense". Why are you so harsh and eager to criticize?

This kiss
This one ad with the kisson the door is very clever.
I like the way it uses the moving parts of the bus to convay a message to the audience.
Yours Sincerely !

Very imaginative ads, but am
Very imaginative ads, but am I the only one that hates ads like the Tiernitos Dog Food and Axe ads that cover the entire bus, including the windows? As a passenger it is actually very difficult to see out of the windows, at least on the buses I've been on that have been similarly covered. Yeah, they put tiny holes in portions that cover the windows, but if I can't see in, imagine how hard it is to see out...

Nikon
Number 9 is Nikon and not Canon as you've written
by Anonymous (not verified)
You're both wrong.
Number 9 is Yodobashi Camera.

Yea
Yea, the katakana in the pic says yodobashi kamera, which means yodobashi camera of cuz.

Hate is a strong word
Dear No Perf,
I'm not sure what you're trying to say (are you seeing in or seeing out?). Window Perf vinyl is designed so that bus riders can see out, but people on the street don't see in (just like regular tinted windows) unless it's at night and the lights are on. Windows are not covered in cities where high crime rates occur on mass transit, like Miami, but otherwise, most people think these are an unusual and creative way to advertise. Next time, wait for the next bus if you want to look out the window, nobody can wrap the entire fleet :)

Also take a look at this 'movie'

Clever...
Now that's the kind of advertisement firm I'd like to hire for my business.
by Live TV (not verified)
Now that's great!
The dating one was the best solely because most of the time it would just flat out fail, since the message isn't delivered fuly. But in the few times that it did match up - it would be pretty amazing to see, I know that I would visit the site or product if I had witnessed it first hand - and I'm not the kind to even look for that kind of service.

It's nice to see that some ad companies have fresh ideas for the ever-changing marketplace! Congrats to the up and comers in the field! The watch straps and the coffee manhole covers are a sure sign that these companies are thinking outside the box to reach the an evolving public.
