Can you have too much stuff or too many ads?

Hard to believe it’s been over a year since I left New York. Obviously, this blog has suffered since I don’t see so many ads on my commute anymore. I especially miss the ones from Manhattan Mini Storage.

Do you own too much stuff?

If you can’t fit everything you own into your home, you don’t need it.
The exception may be if you live in a NYC apartment.

Not that I’m one to talk. During my move, I consolidated two storage units in two different states into one in Austin.

The headline on the other side reads,
“Storing at your parents’ means having to visit.”
You can see two previous Manhattan Mini Storage campaigns here and here.

Storage controversy

Manhattan Mini Storage’s latest campaign has generated some controversy. (You can see more of their ads here.)

Of course, getting people talking was their goal all along. Their latest ad tries to keep the conversation going.

I appreciate the use of “meshuggeneh.”

And according to the poll on their site people like their approach.

Yo momma

Despite the repetitive set up of the lines, I like this Manhattan Mini Storage campaign.
