    I'm more willing to read ads if they were wacky as this, but you can't all have them be this as I will just start ignoring them again.

    As much as I hate the constant stream of lazy, lying bullshit I do love a really clever campaign.

    Think of the sheer balls an advertising company had to have to walk into the initial "Compare the Market" add campaign pitch and say the word "Meerkats" and then go on to explain they would say next to fuckall about what the company actually did.

    I still want to know how this came about. It was the first letter of the first word! And I don't see it as being "Architecture and Planning" or any such variation haha

    Well, it's not the department of planning ahead…

    All it's missing is a typo.

    Reminds me of my college. The architecture building had an awkward floor plan and the civil engineering building was poorly constructed.

    But architects like badly designed buildings, as long as they are artsy.
    My unis signature program is architecture and the library is shedding glass panels as a result. Meanwhile the computer science building is an oxidizing faraday cage that needed to be retrofitted with repeaters for firefighter radio.

    Hey now. They never said they were good at it, just that it is their department.

    That sign is intentionally bad. The electrical tape was a nice touch.

    So I’m guessing the sign was actually made by an office coordinator or project manager as a practical joke.
