Storage, the Subway, and A Little Bit of Politics

I take the 3 train every morning, and today I noticed an interesting advertisement:


This is a hilaroius ad that really says alot about the perception of the political environment in New York City. That perception: Liberal.

We have all seen political advertisements in the form of campaign ads, etc., but how do advertisements like this one that do not have a specifically political goal fit into the media and politics landscape? Do they fit in at all?

    I have actually seen this ad many times walking around the city. They have several other ads that are political such as:

    I personally think their ads are distasteful, but from a marketing standpoint brilliant. The Upper West Side is the second most liberal neighborhood in the country (after San Francisco).

    They are definitely eye-catching.
