How is this airport appropriate?

This was a brilliant and brave campaign, well executed to cause debate and critique. The only thing I find a real shame is people's reaction and focus on the Russia/America angle. If you looked at the ads as a campaign and not a single ad you can see it wanted to promote debate from the nuclear argument through to hooliganism! Not all directed at America....but maybe that is because people will always look at obvious and not the broader spectrum. As someone previously said, it doesn’t try and answer the question for you, it simply gets you to re-appraise what the normal perspective may be.

I believe answers are more important than questions. For instance, my answer to the “Police vs. Demonstrator” question is – “The demonstrator is more dangerous to democratic society, if he provokes police to violence”.
