Context Is Everything

Along one of the streets in downtown Minneapolis, there is an ad on a bus kiosk. It wants people to support concrete as a paving decision.



Looking to the right, it's certainly easy to see potholes. In concrete.



Next time, they might want to consider just where they want their ads to appear. Oops.

Ha - ad placement fail!

Thanks for posting this. I passed one of these ads and was wondering what it was about. A quick google search found Shana over at Science Buzz (local) and her article about concrete vs. asphalt, in which she also mentioned the signs.
