For the last year NY taxis have been showing ads on small TV screens. Unfortunately the ads haven't changed in months, so taking a taxi is an exercise in absolute ad bombardment. Did Taxi TV guarantee a certain number of impressions? Does nobody else want to advertise in taxis? Time will tell.
In the meantime, here are 4 ads that are still bearable on the 500th showing.
First, a super-enigmatic ad from state broadcaster, Russia Today. Works because it is non-obvious.
