I got a call today from Adam McDowell of the National Post. He wanted some comments from me about the poster campaign created by Michael Takasaki and Glen D’Souza of ad agency Bensimon Byrne. I guess its a slow news day. I was a little uncomfortable discussing the subject because some of the ads are a little controvertial and you know how I hate being controversial. Cough cough.
We had a nice chat, Adam and I. “Which poster is the most controvertial.” He asked. This was the question I dreaded. I told him I thought calling out Jesus was over the line but the boys printed it anyway. And even though I’d tucked it behind another poster someone untucked it for all the world to see. Yet no one complained so I left it untucked. It is funny, after all.
