New York Is...
Brooklyn, NY - Peter - Monday, June 12th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Some of you New Yorkers out there may have seen this HSBC advert on a subway car, which I snapped these lo-fi cameraphone shots with. If you haven't, it has several rows/columns of small photos bearing different people's photos and their answer to the question "New York Is...?"
Though this ad campaign seems to be a vague (if not rather inneffective, from a commercial standpoint) effort to show how openminded, diverse and universal HSBC is as "the world's bank", I find it interesting that someone has apparently been going around circling some of the more derogatory epithets within the ads...
"New York is... Overrated."

I don't see how you win over customers by calling their city of residance such things as "gross", "overrated", "greedy", "rotten" or the one I really don't understand at all "hairy".

jeeff: well, it certainly doesnt refer to the bald dude that its printed over! heh.
chris: its just one more example of lukewaram advertising that hides behind the guise of being "honest, diverse and for the people". *lol*

i remember the good old days when HSBC was called Midland Bank. I was never a Midland banker though.
