I saw this little public service poster this weekend while in the Humphrey terminal at the Minneapolis airport and i have to say, i love this kind of stuff. It’s one of those “how effective is that” things we come across so often in life that we hardly even notice them, like the “Just Say No” messages that used to be in packages of Bazooka gum. Has any kid been on the verge of doing drugs but then thought better of it because of a last second reminder from Bazooka Joe? In the case of the parrot here, he was pushing he anti-smuggling message outside the Fisherman’s Wharf Bar & Grill in the lightly trafficked, non-international terminal of a Minnesota airport. How many people is he really reaching? I suppose in a situation like this the cost is so minimal that if it reaches one person it’s worth it. I just highly doubt it will even do that.
Meanwhile, who’s trying to smuggle a parrot out of Minnesota?
