They used LEDs and not posters because that's currently quite the fashion. And this was all about the Cool (yes, I happen to make light-up things myself). Surely you've seen some of the graffiti done with conductive paint and LEDs?
What pisses me off is that these were done with care not to leave a mess to clean up (magnetic; pops right off, no property damage) and were fun/pretty to look at. These signs brought anyone with half a brain a little happiness in addition to advertising something (which I happened to love anyway). It should have gone down as exactly the right way to do guerilla adverts. They weren't *that* clever, but they were pretty.
