    To expand on how a banned ad, installation or piece of art is more effective...

    I had a sculpture class back in art school where we were to choose 3 different fruits/vegetables and cast them in plaster, then alter them in some way. One of my fruits was a banana.

    I cast the banana, painted it silver and glued a Nintendo controller to it. I named it the "Diltendo Entertainment System".

    For one reason or another, I was asked to remove it from the rest of the installation. Not one to allow censorship, some friends and I created posters for this piece and placed them all over the art center. The posters read something like, "Come see what the administration censored."

    I was allowed to hang it on one of the walls of the sculpture studio, alone...

    People came in packs, all throughout the week to view the piece.

    Censoring often has the opposite effect.
