Unfortunate placement of an anti-smoking sign

An advertising blooper has seen a smokefree advertisement turn in to a call to quit school.
The Health Sponsorship Council's Smoking Not Our Future campaign has featured young celebrities talking negatively about smoking since it was launched in 2007.
But in the latest advertisement, the smokefree message was inconveniently placed next to a bus's school sign.
Thus an image of Shortland Street star Ben Mitchell appeared next to a message that read: "take action, take control, quit school".

Quite funny really.

Yes, quite funny. didnt they realise what they were doing when they put it up?

In Indiana, there was this billboard that said "FREE TOBACCO QUIT CLASS." The construction "tobacco quit class" only barely makes sense, but if you assume they left out a comma, then it could be: "free tobacco, quit class." And who wouldn't quit school for some cigs?

My guess is that the "lowly" sign guy had himself a good laugh while plastering it where the gummint told him to

One certainly hopes so! Malicious obedience - the primary weapon of the working classes.
