This is a great, old-school campaign from last spring. It demonstrates that ad people are free to use whatever news is in the public’s consciousness at the moment (in this case, the global recession triggered by corruption in the American financial system). I think you’ll agree that a more visual approach could not reference the news of the moment so wittily. Thanks to adsoftheworld.com for the jpegs.
