Don't you forget about Wii

These Italian Wii ads are just awesome. Using the Post-it technique of creating pixel art, Nintendo pasted some giant sprites up on walls and signboards. Passersby who thought to pull down the Post-its (the jerks) found Wii ad copy on the back of each pixel, and, hopefully, more Post-its underneath.

Interactive advertising like this seems like a great idea. What's more Nintendo than encouraging potential customers to touch!! their advertising?

We've had issues with political campaigns similar to those, and they all end up tagged as "pollution". Here's hoping Nintendo doesn't get fined for "polluting"..
