Advertising in Banana Suits

On the front page of the Bonita News-Press this morning there is a photo of a young man in a banana suit. Of course, I had to read into it after seeing such a photo. It turns out to be an article on sign wavers. It was interesting to me to see that businesses do benefit from the unique advertising. I always wondered if it actually brought in business. It seems to be a job that takes patience, and a tolerance for heat. I was surprised to see that there was a quote from a man in Cape Coral that actually complained saying that it "distracts drivers." If the advertising is working for the businesses, and it's cheap, then why not?
