I don't see how the little flap illustrates the line. And how long do you think it took before someone just ripped that guy right off?

As soon as it went up. (or at least that's what I'd do. i'm sorry but it's just asking to be messed with...)

If they were inteligent they would have made this in a sort of paper that can't be ripped off. Not laminated. It's a rubber-papper that...just...can't...be ripped off.....wonders of the graphic production!

So rubber is a sort of paper?

wonders of graphic production indeed.

Ad looks cool but not sure it would immediately communicate the idea...I've changed my mind, it rocks.

Not a huge impact for me. Might have made a good billboard though.

Would work best as a letter, I think. Because here nobody would try anything but rip him off.

I love the die cut. That's just great creativity! I do see what people are talking about the copy not being that strong though.

hahaaha i saw this art show with all these cut outs like this. This is the most basic that the artist made. I was wondering how long it would take for somebody in advertising to steal that idea.

Says 'save' alright.
The 'blood' bit doesn't come through enough for me.

hi, rog

if u ask 100 people what red colour represents, i am comfident they will come out with the answer blood.
i think it's enough to answer ur question.

i like the idea and execution too !!!

good done

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Cheers, atul

This is an ad from China, so let's ask 100 chinese people what the colour red represents.
It is not quite so simple, is it?

broughcut's picture 20 pencils

what's the story here, is there a connection to the agency in China or was this artwork stolen?

fresh angle on 'rip off the little guy', at least.

Carlos el rojo's picture 24 pencils

I think it´s the agency´s "inspiration"

perhaps catchy is asking too much, but PLEASE fix the tagline so at the very least it's proper english.

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

Sad truth is, the first chav to walk past (50/50 chance its the first person) would rip this off here, then the ad would be irrelevant.

Nice thinking though.
