'Imagine Peace' - Yoko Ono takes out full page ad in New York Times

A simple message.

YOKO ONO CONTINUES to spread a message that was so dear to her late husband John Lennon.

Plain, dramatic and effective advertising was used by the couple back in the late 1960s with their song Happy Xmas (War is Over) and today’s ad in the New York Times evokes memories of those billboards.

It also directs readers to her website, Imagine Peace.
