It was the Zoo's ad campaign for the flamingo's exhibit. Take a look at the billboard across the street from the de-tox center on Boren.

I remember this, but sadly; I think Seattle's a bad city to test these on: too many pot smokers with little attention spans! I'll comment back if I find something out!

I think it was taggers.

They're posting on SLOG too.

Flamingos. It was a cool campaign. We don't see enough pink in this city.

You could see the flamingos as white silhouettes against the pink splatters.
They could have done a better job of it.

On a similar pink note:
Anyone know what "Operation Bright Pink" is/was all about? I saw posters around, but never any useful information -- website, date, any text...

That 'Operation Bright Pink" wheat-paste plague was marketing for the band Thee Emergency.

@8 - wow. Now that was a total waste of ad dollars ...

I was going to guess it was the butt ugly posters for SIFF this year...

God! When I read the headline, I thought this was yet another story from Austria...

I don't get it. Was that supposed to be pink birdshit on the ads?

Heh.. "Thee Emergency", eh?
Silly bastards.
I thought it was a breast-cancer awareness campaign, or a neo-feminist insurgency.
@9 is right.
