Focus on the red cross for 30 seconds. Tilt your head back and stare at the ceiling, slowly blinking your eyes.

This is bloody cool...!!! Except it doesn't give instructions on the ad itself.... so it would make no sense to people....
im sorry its not working for me. Still sleepy. What im supose to see?
damn gimmicks again...
Yes way, it F*&%ing works and its F%#@ing freaky...
Bath yourself in gold-dust then i'll believe you're filthy rich.
:: Put your ears against the ground so i can walk over what you heard::
behold the future, ads that come with instruction manuals...
Good one, Eugene. But average people would not get it without an instruction.

I would never promote Coca Cola.
thats ridiculous..why not put the instructions on the ad itself?
See no idea?
Exactly.
This is all in the execution.
Smells like a scam to me.
it's a bit gimmicky, but the main fault is that doing an ad for A.I. is an opportunity to tell people something they don't know, or make them look at something in another way, and certainly an opportunity to motivate me to do something.
but to just show world leaders and imply/remind you they're bad is really not enough.
scam of LIVE AND DEAD campaign
How many more ideas are we going to take straight from other things? I'm so used to seeing the Jesus Optical Illusion that this ad wouldn't make me think of Amnesty International. In fact, if I did pay attention I may remember them for something else.
You have to hate advertising in order to truly love it.
Long Yun Siang resign!!!

what about other people who saw the image and still did not see the evil in it... a political ad with a manual :))) come on people...

I see fuckin boring ad. And my eyes hurt!!!
Lol, he looks like my dad (luckily, my dad isn't a nice bloke either).
Cute idea, but you guys are right, it does need instructions around it somewhere. Otherwise you just look at this reversed image and go "wtf mate?".
Muito boa mesmo.
Foi até premiada aqui no Brasil no ano passado.

IT'S A *#*&ING COOL INTERACTIVE KINDA AD, ONLY TWO QUESTIONS:
1. What action we want audience to take - since it's an Amnesty Ad. Message: See no evil - don't ignore these people? see if i had to assume, that means it's not clear enuf, i believe.
2. Would people/judges stare long enuf, then turn to a white wall to see the face without instructions?
Something there though, if more thought was put into it, hmmm, it would have been quite amazing, seeing the actual face of that person.
No matter wat u do,
33% of the people will love it,
33% of the people will hate it,
And rest won't give a #@%#.
Viejo recurso, vieja idea. De hecho, como dijeron antes, no hay idea...solo una ejecución.
Buen punto también que las instrucciones no estén en la pieza.
