You could email them and ask if it is a real ad, but their PR person will probably respond and give you a horribly unprofessional response a la Airbnb:

> We emailed Airbnb spokesman Christopher Nulty to ask whether the library ad was "real." He responded by email, "as opposed to a fake one :)"

> A follow up email, explaining that we were in fact seeking confirmation as to whether the ads are actually from Airbnb received the following response: "Are you seriously writing on this?"

> Nulty did not respond to another follow up email.

I'm actually AMAZED their PR dude has not been fired over his juvenile and unprofessional response to the reporter. You had ONE job!!

WOW. Unbelievable. Who the hell hires these people? They make you go through half a dozen technicals if you're going to be an engineer, but they let the homeless guy across the street run their PR department?


It's shit like this that brings down the reputation of the entire industry.
