Sorry man but I hate that 'Urban Spam' tag.

So is Bankys Urban Spam too?

What about coprorate buildings?

Any commercial communication in the public domain?

I smell a rat – this looks surprisingly like a hoax of some kind. The second video is a little too staged…

Adam, You drop crap on a town, it's highly untargetted. The majority of people don't need the product nor want it.

Nick, maybe you're right...

I’m trying to figure out what Urban Spam is and what it’s not. It has to do with the content, format, and target audience. Take a look to the post “Defining Urban Spam” and contribute to the discussion.
