I love picking holes in print advertisements. I get told off because I stand really close to airbrushed movie posters and scream, “THEY HAVE NO PORES”. But this advert, that I see every morning on my way to work, has really been bugging me.
For those not living in Manchester, we’re having a big vote later this year on the Manchester congestion charge. One approach they’re taking to selling the idea making you pay to drive your car to work is saying that you won’t always have to pay the congestion charge. To me, this is like persuading someone to play russian roulette with the reasoning it’s not suicide most of the time.
Anyway, I see this one on my way into work every day.
Does anyone else read this as “I won’t have to pay the congestion charge, BECAUSE I AM GAY”?
