Elevator Ad Saga: Video
Comments on clip from YouTube:
"This is very, very well done -- tells a story, educates us about Canadian laws on drug advertising, and shows that a few people -- armed with knowledge and a will to do something-- can make a difference."
"This is a beautiful example of citizen activism and a phenomenal video. In 3 1/2 minutes you learn everything you need to know about one way the drugs industry tries to do illegal work and what you can do about it. Bravo!"
