Dear Denver Water: Guerilla Stunts Aren’t ‘Stunts’ if You Tell Everyone Beforehand

This Sunday in Colorado, director David LaFrance of Denver Water is going to put on a toilet costume and go racing across the Rapids’ field when Beckham appears. He’ll be wearing a cheesy sign that says “Running toilets waste water.” Then he’ll be tackled by a dude wearing a sign that says, “Stop running toilets.”

This is for a campaign called Use Only What You Need, launched with the help of Sukle Advertising and Design. Sukle calls it “witty.” We’re sure there are other words for it but we’re too lazy to come up with any. We might just put on a sign with something patently insulting printed on it and go running across a field ass-naked.
