I think the cardboard box one is good because you can see hints to what was inside the boxes. And because the size created by some of the larger boxes starts to hint at the ridiculous – which is funny. Like, you can’t see the house behind that days recycling because there are just soooooo many boxes from so many good deals.

I have a bit of a problem with the Styrofoam one though because those huge pieces of foam aren’t specific only to items the future shop might sell. It makes sense – but only if I see the second one first and I already know the joke.

At first – I really thought the first one was going to be a PSA for recycling or some other type of environmental ad. And I couldn’t for the life of me understand why there was a Future Shop slinger stuck in the can. So I thought maybe they were targeting retail stores that tend to make a lot of waste.

With that thought in mind – they might want to steer clear of a giant picture that advertises how much waste their products create. It doesn’t necessarily post them in a favorable light.

I have to agree – these ads don’t really say all that much other than “consumerism creates waste”.

You forget that the people that buy this stuff don’t care about waste. Its a great day when you get to fill the trash and recycling bins to overflow. The last thing on your mind is going outside (except to see if you threw away a cable or remote in the unpacking mayhem) let alone worrying about the outside.
