Has anyone else spotted the in-car tube card adverts with a photo of
part of the Large Hadron Collider on the Northern Line stock? It is just
a photo, with tiny text pointing at it being related to CERN.

I wonder who funded it, and what purpose it is there to serve, apart
from raise awareness and inspire. It's not trying to sell anything,
not got excessive branding or anything. It was kind of a nice change.

The Times.

The identity of the advertiser has been revealed in later ads.


Yup; they've also been getting us into practice for the next eight
years by making us look at the Messiah every day.
