It is kindling the emotions of the ones who've lost their leg, more than appealing to the public in support of them. Empathy and sympathy are two critical appraoches. Sympathy is a bad choice here.

I totally disagree. This ad touched me at first glance

Don't you feel empathy instead of sympathy would have worked better?

So the ads with children in them touch you?

I am sorry but I don't get this one, who is the target here, how can a common man help in getting a ban on landmines?

Don't you guys think the photoshopping of the sawn off leg is a bit freaky?

It's not very moving. I've seen much better stuff for landmines before.

I think it works.

Showing what happens when you lose something, and the things that you can no longer do are clear.

Another scam idea for landmines, and not a very good one at that.

Hi guys,

Do you know when this ad was made ?
I'm working for a NGO in the same field, so it's cool if someone can help me with this.
Bye

It was done last year around Junish? Was published in a few magazines.
