Brussels Ran Ad Campaign Mocking the Notion of a Terrorist Attack Two Months Ago

Mediaite.com:

In an ad campaign that aired two months before Tuesday’s terrorist attacks, the tourism department of Brussels ridiculed the notion that the city was violent or prone to terrorist violence. 

The city set up a series of phones that people could call from all around the world and have everyday people in Brussels answer. “Did you see some people who are fighting with guns or bombs?” one caller asks. 

“No!” the person who answered the phone laughs. “Oh my god, no way!” 

“After Brussels was linked to terror plots, the international media portrayed the city as a warzone,” the ad read. “We wanted to change this perception with an honest answer.” 

“Is it safe for this moment?” another caller asks. 

“Of course it’s safe, it’s very safe,” the Belgian answers.
