And DC in the States... I forget which subway line, though. Its a Coke add. Its pretty sweet, except isn't it what Ray Bradbury referred to in Fahrenheit 451 when he said that billboards on highways were stretched to gigantic proportions so that people could still read the ads even though they were traveling super fast? And didn't mister B. use this as another terrible feature of his dystopia? I'd think about it, but my wall-tv is calling.

Yeah DC has done this, I think either the Red Line or the Blue-Orange line.

This ad technology isn't really new too. It has made its debut five years ago in such cities as Atlanta, Budapest, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Advertisers and train operators benefit from these subway ads. As a new form of advertising which most people haven't seen anything like it before, it is certain to generate buzz. Moreover, it faces no competiting ads being shown simultaneously to riders along the subway tunnels. For train operators, it represents a new source of revenue.

@Highlander: Thanks for the extra info. I do think that this is the first video on YouTube about this ad technology.
