The Mint card advert

[philandlil]

On the Mint card advert where the contract gets blown out of the window and the man follows and lands on the sign outside which breaks off and he is then seen by other people from his work riding bareback on the word mint, shouldn't the mint sign be the other way round to the other people in the office?

I hope i've explained that right.

This is what I call "poetic licence" the ad only works if you don't get too involved. Once you start looking it starts not to make sense.

1. he leaps from the window - but lands on a sign that is attached to the building.

2. as has been pointed out the part sign "DEMINT HOLDINGS" should be reversed. If you are generous and assume that the sign is now hanging on cables to rotate. He is still then facing the wrong way.

3. all this proves that you should not "believe" all that you see!! :) :)

I've never noticed that before!
