Sweden Chinese "precious shops"

dabitch — Saturday, June 23, 2007 - 00:42

I was out walking when this incredibly bad advertising poster caught my eye. It's like urban spam, complete with strange English (in Sweden!) and capitalizing Every Word In The Headline. It's even got bulleted lists! On a poster you drive past. My god, this thing is scary.

"Precious Shops Are Under Way Of Hot Sales......" it reads, with - count'em - six trailing punctuation marks behind it. "Three won't do, nonono, double that!" someone must have said during the creation of this monstrosity.

It seems they're trying to announce the opening of the "Chinese Commodity Wholesale Distribution Center, The Ocean Of Commodity Wholesale, Reasonable And Favorable Price." - my god is that whole bullet-point the name of the place? wtf? Maybe it needs such a long name, after all the image does seem to depict hangar upon hangar of .. uh... great shopping.

I'm leaning toward thinking that whole poster is some sort of joke. They bought billboards all over town just to post that crud.
