I wrote about this advertisement before. (http://mba4rent.blogspot.ca/2015/09/a-great-big-mess-of-logos.html)

The contest that the advertisement promotes finished four days before I took this photo. And not only is the contest over, but the advertisement fell prey to petty vandalism.

This is a common fate for advertisements that the public can touch. They often peel the vinyl off leaving this sort of mess.

There is no solution, the best way of dealing with it is vigilance and maintenance, both of which seem to be in short supply.
