Shen Yun was a Baader-Meinhof object: once I saw it, I started to see it everywhere.
More than that -- until I read this, I had half-convinced myself that I'd been seeing these posters since the early 90s, not 2007!

This makes me think of the strategy the great showman P.T. Barnum would use, typically by bombarding people with larger-than-life posters, to raise awareness of his acts. He earned a lot of business doing this.
