Playstation Suicide Ad Removed from Metro

Posted Mar 8, 2006 at 4:39PM EST by QJ Staff

Sony UK's latest advertisement has been taken down from a Metrolink station after the words, "Take a running jump here" appeared a few feet away from the subway tracks. The ad has since been covered up after workers found in unethical, and a spokesman for Network Rail said that "the message goes completely against all our safety messages" and that it contradicts the safety messages they encourage their travelers to follow. Recently, there have been several accidents involving people being hit by trams at the station, so employees found the ad to be in especially bad taste.

Honestly, I think anyone who even considers jumping in front of a tram because of a PSP advert deserves to get hit, but I'm surprised that Metrolink even allowed it to be put up in the first place.

The best one surely has to be the "Spend a night in Paris here" with the net logo in the corner ;)

I saw an advert on a bus stop that said "saucy e-mails can't follow you here" I like that one. Do you think this ad campaign supposed to be like the PS2's "The Third Place" Adverts from when it was released?
