Adverts killing people

I came along this issue in the Austrailian newspaper just now. And thought of sharing to those who do not know the power of 'Eye-catching ads.'
It happened quite sometime ago, and hence created a huge 'hoo-ha' to outdoor advertising.

The driver, aged 22, drove his car on the pavement and killed a 13-year-old girl instantly, while two other boys, also aged 13, were badly injured.

Why?

Because he was distracted by the woman's underwear advertisment!!!

Advertisers are aiming to make their ads as attention grabbing as possible. Truely, the fashion cafe in Barcelona has done it well!
