This company pissed us off with their graffiti-esque chalk attack advertising recently in Downtown Seattle, but as far as we know not much came of it. Well, an anti guerrilla advertising site was created, but to our knowledge the city of Seattle didn't hold the company responsible for all their visual litter.

It's a different story in Bellevue, though. The city to the East is apparently less tolerant of this job site's hyper-aggressive marketing schtick, and is fining them. According to this LiveJournal post (also see this one) they've already accrued some $6,000 in fines and rising.

Employees of this company, isn't this kind of crap embarrassing? You should quit. Seriously, there are a lot of jobs out there. Try Dice, Craigslist, Monster, etc.

Isn't guerrilla advertising pretty common in most big cities? What's the big deal?

Can anyone get any pictures of these? In Portland we are currently faced with political (the ones that always say peoples names on them) like signs all over. I'm wondering if they are the same thing.
