Ad Creep Update time. New Yorkers are already assaulted daily by ads in motion on buses, both MTA and tourist, taxicab tops, pedicab sides, panel trucks, even the occasional skywriting stunt. Well now, Media-N-Motion (site under construction), apparently a Los Angeles company, wants to stick ads on loud as fuck tanker trucks and send them rolling through New York City neighborhoods—that won’t generate any complaints! Let’s think of some possible fitting advertisers.
The Tank. Beer! (“Get tanked this weekend!”). Actually any alcohol brand. The New York Liquidation Bureau. Uh…

At first I thought the tanker was advertising MUL – Made U Look, a graffiti crew from Chicago (I think?).
I like the beer slogan – you should pitch it to them!
I came up with a couple:
Cantankerous relationship? (for a couple's therapist)
Tanks for all the support! (Iraqi civilians)
Yours truly snapped a poor cell phone photo of a tanker truck with NJ plates, transporting milk on Houston completely covered in an ad for the Wendy Williams show: http://twitpic.com/jjxkp
