Worst Ad Campaign of the Year: Greyhound
Worst Ad Campaign of the Year: Greyhound
Greyhound has 86’d an ad campaign that touted the relaxing upside of bus travel after one of its passengers was accused of beheading and cannibalizing another traveler.
The ad’s tag line was “There’s a reason you’ve never heard of ‘bus rage.'”
Vince Weiguang Li, who immigrated to Canada from China in 2004, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old carnival worker Tim McLean. He has yet to enter a plea.
As horrified passengers fled the bus, Li severed McLean’s head, displaying it to some of the passengers outside the bus, witnesses said.

Pretty Grisly stuff. Sad. Bad timing on the ad campaign too.
It is stuff like this that is the reason most insiders will tell you that China is going to take over International crime in the next decade.
Personally, I have always preferred train travel.*
