'GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF' - GO COMPARE BILLBOARDS BEING DEFACED?
At first glance it might look like someone has taken their revenge on the makers of those infuriating insurance ads. Billboards across the country appear to have been defaced by an angry graffiti artist, keen to tell Go Compare's iconic opera singer just where he should go. The disfigured billboards show the fictional character Gio Compario - played by Welsh opera singer Wynn Evans - emblazoned with new slogans such as, "go jump off a cliff", "go and get singing lessons", "go away", "go get a new job" and, quite simply, "just go". The billboards have been talked about by hundred of social networkers on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, amused that someone, somewhere, is finally saying what we're all thinking.However, a few have also begun to question whether the graffiti is in fact part of a clever piece of PR on the part of Go Compare themselves.
