On almost every SF City Tour that I have conducted over the last year, there seems to have been at least one (usually more) guest who asks how is it that we go in a 360 degree loop around the city for four hours or more and they don't see the filthy streets, homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks, and generally beat up nasty city that they have been hearing about on the news. I typically respond that we do still have a homeless and drug problem but that the news media has been reaching new heights in exaggeration for reasons undisclosed.
This advertising agency has done something brilliant and I hope that it gets enough air time to make the doom and gloom for SF people take a breath and stop the bashing/bullying.
Doom is everywhere you look in Duncan Channon’s San Francisco office. There's the circular Doom Spiral Bar. There’s the Doom Spiral bus prop in the corner. Even the walls are painted a specific shade called Doom Blue. But the theme is meant to skewer the city’s critics.
