    Funny, that sounds more like an argument for finding alternative energy sources, than one promoting coal mining.

  • foomandoonian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'd put the printer one at #3
  • pavanb500, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I'd like the HP one better if someone like Rapid Refill Ink sponsored it!
  • notthemama, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I didn't like #8. It's a bad idea to put stuff on handrails. At best, it prevents people from using the hand rails for their purpose. Some folks can't do stairs without holding on. At worst, it could indirectly result in an injury if someone falls because they couldn't use the handrails.
    Besides, putting those on the rails would likely result damage to the ads.
    Good rule of marketing is not to mess with the actual purpose of something just to advertise.
