UPDATE (August 9. 2010) We understand that the taxi ads are “out-there” (supposedly). However, the ONE and only taxi ad that was seen at the beginning of the campaign was vandalized. We just don’t ‘get’ how FIFTY taxis with the “Leaving Islam” ad remains un-spotted.
Stood on 8th ave and 47th today and 10th ave and 47th (different times of the day) Loads of taxis in mid-town. Caught 8 blanks and LOTS of Flash dance, but NO “Leaving Islam” (which still remains a ‘tad’ odd, we think.)
