To the left there, one of a series of phone ads which are currently plastering the Tubes here in London.
And one of the oddest ads I’ve seen in some time, I feel; the suggestion being that the young woman in the picture hasn’t called home for a while, and the caption suggests that it’s something she ought to do, and so I’m rather inescapably driven to conclude that she may have run away from home.
Given the fate which so many female runaways are in danger of, and the shape of her mouth in the photo they’ve chosen to use… well, it looks to me as if Nokia are trying to get a slice of the teenage runaway prostitute fellatrix market.
I don’t know much about advertising, but I can’t really imagine that it’s one of the larger demographic slices. Ah well.
