A billboard advertising in a human face... forever

The Mainichi Shinbun says:

マツダは、JR東京駅の地下通路に、家族をテーマに60組の夫婦や親子の写真を一枚につなげた総延長311メートルの写真広告を張り出した。今月7日発売した新型ミニバン「プレマシー」のPRの一環で、28日まで掲示する。
Mazda has begun putting up a 311-meter long advertisement in JR Tokyo Station's underground walkway. The theme is "family" and photographs of sixty family groups are featured. The poster is part of the PR effort for the new "Premacy" minivan, launched on the seventh of this month, and will remain up until the 28th.

When they finish slapping that sucker on the walls, it'll be the longest advertisement ever -- the previous record was only 274 meters.

It's like Christo sold out or something.

Popularity factor: 2

Ali:

Sounds a little like the situation of big bridge painting. You start at one end, and by the time you get to the other, where you started needs doing over.


Matt:

Yeah. In this case, by the time you get to the end of the advertisement, your own family has grown up and left home, so you have to have kids all over again.
