It is a TfL initiative- a bus carries a similar livery and I believe the plan included a taxi, cable car and hire bike being wrapped.

Arguably this could be seen as very good marketing. Whilst it is undoubtedly (at best) in poor taste, it did get lots of coverage at the time and raised the company’s profile. Reminds me of the double glazing advert which moved Melinda Messenger from a local model in Swindon to a national...
