Public Property is Public Property. Why Not Take a Leak?

Like a Calvin & Hobbes decal come to life, “Slash” for MTV Switch depicts people pissing in public places. The moral of the story is to “Save water, flush less.” (Niiiiice.)

By Ogilvy/London, which has an odd take on persuasion. Wizzing in a fountain is funny — hell, incendiary — while you’re stoned and around age 15, but unless things have changed abroad, doing it in the Queen’s England remains both unsavory and illegal.

There’s no accounting for logic in advertising, however. Along with other “green” MTV Switch ads, “Slash” will likely run across 55 TV channels in 162 countries. The track in the ad is Miserere Mei, by Bouwe Dykstra.
