Subway Ad Zaniness!

That's real fake hair stuck on the poster, folks!

I also like the actual-size replicas of Meiji chocolate (not pictured)

Click to zoom in, click to appreciate

I think the message is the following: Whales hate it when you burn garbage (all garbage in Tokyo is inscinerated), Polar bears get embarassed if a cigaratte sees them with acne, then Penguins get attacked, and finally Sprokets We DANCE! Of course, it's all a symbolic metaphor to say "If you smoke down here, we the Japanese collective will cast evil glares of derision at you, but we won't actually do anything about it unless we're wearing a MTA uniform."

I have no idea about this one.

What an appealing photo! Sign me up on the "Stick that thing up my nose" waiting list!!

Optional photo. (WARNING! contains Britney Spears) Her nude-but-covered-and-pregnant-ness was enough to get the ad banned inside the trains, but not inside Omote-Sando station.
