Faux-Printeresting Tuesday: Bruno

Lousy-looking ads for the lousy-looking movie Bruno:

It’s one thing when street ads actually pretend to be street art. You may feel like a sucker when the latest viral meme turns out to be a soda pop commercial, but at least the ad agency gets credit for a “gotcha.”

On the other hand, these Bruno posters don’t even try to fool you. They just ape an aesthetic, badly. The movie is meant to be an edgy satire, but this ad campaign is less subversive than the ads for a Disney movie about a talking chihuahua.

Ah, well. We snooze, they lose!
