Whilst I can't claim to be an expert on the advertising methods of undergraduate students in either the UK or the USA I have noticed a very marked difference at least between Cambridge and Northwestern. The students here seem to treat the ground as some sort of massive billboard. Every day new pieces of paper appear taped to the floor in front of my building, advertising everything from St Patrick's Day parties to performances of the Vagina Monologues. They also have a great affinity for chalk on the pavements/sidewalks, and I have recently learned that there are some student elections coming up soon, and I should vote for "Anna" for VP. If only I could.

Yes, it is certainly an interesting style of advertising. My favorite (witness my stunning command of american english) were the Vagina Monologues adverts. You'd be walking innocently down the street and then around your feet would swarm dictionary definitions of synonyms of vagina.
Surely all the dictionary definitions of synonyms of vagina will just be `vagina'?
Claire, have you ever responded to any of these adverts---do they work?
OK, I really want to know what the deleted post said.
Oh, wait, it must have been some sort of obscene robot drawn here by the v-word. No?
In response to James: not that I can remember. I'm not sure I'm really representative of their target audience, though.
In response to Henry: no Henry, it's nothing like that. You are very confused. Anyway, it's gone now.
Henry, I guess you'll never know for certain.
It'll just haunt you. Forever.
