I received this today in my inbox. I don’t think there is any commentary needed:
Hello Michael,
Been wondering about this multi-generational workplace, how social media plays out with each generation and what it really means for how business will be conducted in the future? I have been invited to conduct a training class with [...]

Nothing quite so (dis)comforting as the blue screen of death in place of the usual taxi ads.
Note that the failed program is “Advertising”
Here are stills of the stencil I put up on the ads that went up on wall outside Eyebeam. And two images from people who answered the call!

So this is what the Guerilla Girls have come to? Derivative advertisements for advertisements. Pay SVA 30K+ a year to learn how to be an illegal marketer. Great.
