In-Your-Face Advertising

As students walk over to the academic block, we have to cross this overhead bridge. Societies often place banners promoting their activities, and sometimes the college also put up notices.

This week is "English Week", organized by the School of Languages to promote the use of English (duh!). To announce the event to the whole wide world, they hung this huge yellow banner across the bridge, so that everyone who crossed the bridge will have to walk under it.

Now, usually this is not a problem but apparently the college has seen fit to make the banner big enough that everyone over the height of Gimli the Dwarf has to bow down to go under it! I've seen most girls having to do it, so I know I'm not alone. Plus, they also made sure the bottom of the banner is tightened to a post, so we could not just push it aside.

This is the most annoying advertisement I have ever encountered. In-your-face advertising, literally!

Well, from my experience, in INTI, those English week never work. Nobody pays attention to eat. It's all about putting up a show only. I guess if you really wanna start working on English week, you have to start getting rid of the lecturer's bad English. Ha ha

I've seen a guy who was so engrossed in his own thoughts that he walk right smack in the middle of the banner. That was the highlight of my day *grin*
