As a resident of London, I'm quite tired of seeing these ads. Admittedly, the images in the ads are pretty clever - particularly the one with the puppet - but the concept is just downright rotten.

I even saw one in the toilet of a local pub! Regarding “astroturfing”, your assessment is bang-on. As a resident of London, I’m quite tired of seeing these ads.
