...a big wall poster, between 41st and 7th avenue, "fashion avenue" as they call it.
:) hehe, not bad.

the ad claim: "A Leader In Style".

everybody knows the pic there. but the Weatherproof found it worth a advertisement campaign.
here's the link to the italian paper:

5. Um, did they get his permission?

You can't just use someone's image in an advertising campaign. I find this very odd and problematic.

using the image of a sitting US president for use in advertising.
