Think it would smack a little less of dishonesty if it was written in third person.

It's only a good campaign if the raping stops in Darfur.

while i agree with some others that the technique has been done before - it seems cheap here - i question the copy. it delivers the same message as the headline. just in a more explanative way. i fail to find more impact or intrigue when i dove in. i was expecting, i dunno, a twist, something that belies the in-your-face headlines.

SO NOT NICE. So Done.

First of all: This technique of writing the headline & copy is done.

Secondly: Writing a provocative line on a B/W soppy picture is so... last decade.

In today's day and age, with tons of provocative advertisers out there, you are just part of the noise.

if you ended up reading it , i'd say it has done the job.

I like this one..

No, if the militia find the women outside of the camp, they rape them and let them go. If men are found outside the camp, they are killed. These women are sacrificing their bodies and well-being to save the men of the village, their fathers, husbands, and brothers.

because the women 'only' get raped. While the men get killed.

Mr. Rodrift...
I beg to differ...there's hardly any difference in getting 'raped' and getting 'killed'..both are just the same...

Very good - ignore Garg0le - you could equally argue a 'press ad' has been done, then we'd all be out of jobs.

This makes such a poweful statement that you need to read the rest of the copy - and it's persuasive.

I wish Amnesty would be more consistent with more campaigns like this...also check out what they did in Lisbon night clubs campaigning against domestic violence...awesome stuff...Gargoyle just fuck off, why don't you?this isn't meant to be some stylized, slick ad, it's meant to give you an idea of how these people live...no food, clothing or shelter, no hope, no future and there are dicks like you who wish it'd be "this decade". Perhaps you should consider that the photography is MEANT to be dull, depressing and "soppy"...dumb wannabe advertiser mother fucker
