almost certainly done by Orange Barrel Media, they seem to have the Nationwide account.

This is funny. No one appears to have noticed that this isn't a nationwide advert, though everyone is talking about nationwide. To compound the irony, I am not going to mention the real advertiser's name, but it doesn't look like life insurance to me that is supposedly spilt on those cars.

So, so cool.

And, hello, it is a Nationwide ad. "Coop's Paints" is a fictional company being used as an example of unforeseen circumstances: "Life comes at you fast." In this case... insurance needs.

And the little fact it SAYS nationwide.com on the ad, totally doesn't give it away at all.

"No one appears to have noticed that this isn't a nationwide advert, though everyone is talking about nationwide."

ORLY? And I supposed Nationwide would be cool with Coop's Paints adding some paint splatters on top of an ad that didn't belong to Coop's?

"To compound the irony, I am not going to mention the real advertiser's name, but it doesn't look like life insurance to me that is supposedly spilt on those cars."

Come on, dude... Let's use some i-m-a-g-i-n-a-t-i-o-n.

The paint 'spills' into a park-and-pay parking lot. The ad originally consisted of three or four painted cars. The fourth car is someone actually paying to park. When I looked into the lot the other day, the three painted cars had been removed.
