More public toilets in NYC!

Excellent guerilla marketing campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi New York to highlight the public restroom shortage in New York. Cardboard people were placed around certain locations to get people's attention to the problem.

Very cool. They look so realistic too.

You know overseas there are real people who actually do that...

great thing. but I don't think that they are the first who used cardboard people. for example, it was used in Lithuania couple years ago, it was cops on zebra crossings.
