U.K. buses looking grand with GTA

Ads really are powerful. And if the product being advertised is not exactly the wholesome-for-the-family kind of entertainment, like GTA: Vice City Stories here, then there’s a very good possibility that cities would think twice before having its print ads plastered on the side of their public transports.

At least, that’s how it turned out in the U. S. But somewhere on the other side of the world, in a place called U. K., they don’t seem to be as worried and concerned that their young, impressionable youths would end up emulating the crooked ways of the characters in the game.

Maybe because they don’t have young, impressionable youths. Or maybe, it’s because they know it’s plain business, and a picture, though it may paint a thousand words, can not really lift a finger to do any significant harm.

Interpretation, after all, is in the eye of the beholder. And at the end of the day, they have those cool GTA posters plastered at the back of their bus.
