Earthlink Puts Mirrors On Urinals
from the weird-advertising-campaign dept
Earthlink has a new advertising campaign. They're putting rearview mirrors on urinals in men's bathrooms in bars. The mirrors say that "Earthlink protects your privates". The ideas it to catch people's attentions and to suggest that Earthlink does a better job protecting your privacy than AOL. Of course, it seems as though most people who saw the mirrors during a beta test didn't understand what they were about at all. Anyway, if you happen to see one of these mirror-adorned urinals, I'm sure our good friends over at Urinal.net wouldn't mind a picture.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
