they haven't been defaced... it is all part of the new marketing campaign

they have changed agencies but I think part of the deal was that they kept the annoying fat cnut in some respect..

Thing is....They know the fat b@stard pisses the sh!t out of everyone, but it's the fact that he's so annoying that's spread the word, which in turn works just as planned for the company. It's clever marketing.

no flies on you is there?!   :wink:

This one is near us.

Another one with compare scribbled out and "AWAY" in big silver letters is just down the road from it.

from a post on digital spy

Quote
From the advertising they have been doing of late i.e adverts, billboards I have come to the conclusion that on the 2nd July 2012 Go Compare will launch another advertising campaign which will most likely be worse than the current one .

Go Compare.com have got bored with Gio Compario and they agree that it is time for him to go and they are using the hate for the character as a form of advertising.

They know you hate it .

Here is some examples that could spell the end of gio.

Billboard Ads

Goodbye Gio Compario

It's part of the gimmick.  I have seen the exact same ones round my way.

The compare the market adverts are very funny and make me laugh the 1st time I see them  :grin:

Aside from those, I despise adverts. Fortunately I watch most of my TV on sky+ so don't have to sit through them!
