Ads have appeared in some strange places– eggshells, barf bags, toilet mints, bellies, and ….. But this is a first– a flying banner ad using a real fly.
A German ad agency, saving money on an airplane banner ad, hired some flies to do it. They tested the fly-by at a convention center. Apparently, the flies had a tough time staying aloft with the added weight and kept landing on people. Some might have had to give their lives by swatting so the ads could be read.
It just goes to show, ads can be annoying, even if they’re small.
