Who's enforcing the conditions of
advertising contracts at City Hall?


"I have visited these ads and they are translucent. They do not pose a safety concern or vision hazard for vehicular or pedestrian traffic." - City of Toronto staff member with Transportation Services.

These photos are unaltered.
They were shot on an SLR film camera and scanned.
No filters or digital alterations were used.


Where we come from, this is called "opaque"

 


Ads blocking ads. Definitely not transparent.


All you can see here is the reflection of the cars and stores on the right.


A picture is worth a thousand words.

 


Where did the building go? No vision hazard here.

 

The iPod ads have been the target of unprecedented vandalism. As soon as they were installed, people began ripping them down. While the TPSC does not condone vandalism, in this case we support these acts as civilian enforcement of regulations that Toronto staff are ignoring. After all, these ads shouldn't be there in the first place. They are esentially pieces of litter left behind by Viacom. And the Mayor has asked everyone to pick up litter.
