The Washington Post reports on a guerilla-ish Beirut ad blitz that skewer sectarianism. It's a series of billboards with newsprint text advertisements or offers blatantly tailored to certain groups ("Parking for Maronites Only") alongside more earnest appeals ("Citizenship Is Not Sectarianism") designed pro bono by H&C Leo Burnett, Beirut. It's been distributed pro bono, too, via rapid-fire txt msg and word-of-mouth buzz.
The WaPo calls it "part provocation, part appeal, with a dose of farse that doesn't feel all that farcical." Hm. A nascent Dada?
