| 1272188 | 2012-04-26 23:43:00 | Clean up your dog’s poop, earn free WiFi ( . com/work/terra-poo-wifi/27321" target="_blank">creativity-online . com) Mexican internet portal Terra is encouraging dog owners to poop and scoop by offering them free WiFi in return . The company is piloting the idea at 10 parks in Mexico City in a campaign by DDB Mexico . When people throw away their bags of poop in a special box in the park, it calculates the weight and Terra gives everyone free minutes of Wi-Fi in the park . The greater the weight, the more minutes are added -- and everyone can enjoy a poo-free park . In an age when people are probably more interested in staring at their smartphone than watching what their dog is doing, it's a smart idea . What's to stop pedestrians from tossing not just poop, but other waste that they wouldn't mind parting with? Nothing, says the agency, but we figure that would just help keep the streets even cleaner anyway (a la Volkswagen's Fun Theory) . To help consumers focus on the poop, however, hostesses manned each of the bins during the day, passing out bags for doggie droppings . And for those of you that weren't a fan of Homeless Hotspots, this is a Wi-Fi-providing alternative that is much less socializing polarization . I think so anyway . Still - the syntax of this sentence: "Mexican internet portal Terra is encouraging dog owners to poop . . . . " leaves a strange mental image to me . WHO or WHOM is advised to be doing the pooping? For full credit, per US Laws::: Date Apr 23, 2012 Agency: DDB Mexico CCO: Walter Aregger Client: Terra CCO: Hernan Ibarra Art Direction: Victor Figueroa Art Direction: Sergio Ramirez Agency Producer: Marcelo Genel Prod . Co . : The Maestros Director: Rodrigo Valdes DOP: Kenji Katori Second Unit Director: Sergio Granados Producer: Carlos Gonzalez Category Promo, Stunt There - that should keep the attorneys happy . I've been to Mexico many times and frankly, dog poop is the least of their problems . Dead bodies, heads FROM dead bodies, dead dogs, cats and other previously self-motivated-now-room-temperature carbon-based entities are all over the place . Oh --- let's not forget the trash and general garbage that's piled up on the windward side of all the buildings and the big fence that separates the US from the Southern Neighbor . . hispanicallyspeakingnews . com/uploads/images/article-images/ArizonaBorderTrash . jpg" target="_blank">www . hispanicallyspeakingnews . com . google . com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRBzO_e6l8GksgxazyHJqf_BXGSrzcDu" target="_blank">encrypted-tbn3 . google . com S_IA4RiH8bzIglZOve- . nationalparkstraveler . com/files/storyphotos/Border%20Patrol-Fence . jpg?1271286653" target="_blank">www . nationalparkstraveler . com Which side is Mexico? Three guesses . Actually, that's an unfair question since the pixs w/o fences are in the US from smugglers and people in Mexican cities throwing their garbage over the fence . Would NZ let Australia dump their trash over the fence, so to speak? Hey folks - youse guys - I see 'em as I call 'em . |
