There was an article a week or so ago in the NY Times Advertising
Column (I think) about the ads. I assumed they were working with
the Keith Haring Foundation since Keith's initial supporters were
Japanese collectors (in the bad old East Village Art days). His
Pop Shop is still open in New York and, I guess, Japan. I
think he would have gotten a real kick out of the ads and I'm sure
Honda paid through the nose.
