pacifying sucky ads

So a guy has been going around NYC recently playing around with a culturejam that involves placing dummy stickers prominently on what are to be honest pretty suckful advertisements.

I think it's pretty funny - though It's unclear whether or not they are intended to be a comment on the ads themselves.

It should be said this kind of stuff isn't new, stickers are all over the place in the form of street art here and overseas.

Being an ad girl it's the adbuster style ones I find interesting. Like these super-fun photoshopped ones that appeared in Berlin and other places a while ago...
