1.parveen babi
2.EACanada.com-The billboard was placed in front of a competitor’s building. The headline tells (in ASCII code): “Now Hiring”.By placing their ads in plain view of their competition (e.g. across the road from the front door of Radical Entertainment) the ads also manage to convey the competitive environment EA fosters.
