I LOVE this one!! When I saw the others flags I though "obvious situation" but using US flag and shows that for example not only in 3rd world countries people are torment!
Very good!
Pretty fresh for an idea using flags.
Nice.
this is pretty clever. discovering things countries/governments try to hide. I like it.
Flags are overused - but that's easily forgivable when it's such a superb idea.
nice. esp the american reference, for the non-conventional POV.
fantastic idea, flags or not (and I could have seen this work sans flags. there are plenty other iconic images for each of these countries).
meh, I've seen better work done with flags
Tired of advertising using flags. :(

Flags. How original.
It's not like they are promoting tourism here. I think that especially because flags are so prominent, it takes you by surprise when you see the image embedded in it.
Yes, but the idea of using flags as the device to take you by "surprise" has been used over and over and over again.
well, there's been 'a bunch of guys having a beer' situation used over and over again but still some good ideas come out of it.
Tired of people who are tired of flag ideas and comment just to let us know they are experienced and aware of ad history. Would you stop for a second and appreciate the idea here by getting over the good old flag thing?

Me gusta este trabajo pero es cierto que la idea de las banderas está más que reciclada, y sin ser agresivas pueden ser chocantes y despertas las conciencias.

Alright the flags thing is overdone but the idea is outstanding. And that's advertising is all about.

At first I was thinking "geez... flags again!?". After 1 sec., I have to tell that I'm impressed by this idea. Good job :)

Very intelligent and apprehensive.
I like the whole campaign.
GREAT CAMPAIGN!!
So, flags... they´ve been used before... so? it´s not about using new objects, but giving them an original aproach to the message.
Some fcking stupid comments here, from some fcking stupid wannabes.
Beautiful Work. Great Cause.
