Am I missing something?

Yeah, but that's the point – that you don't get what it says. That's so you'll need their product to 'break' the language barrier presented.

But seriously, do you have to show people literally 'locked-up' in the words?

ugh, wince, groan.

No better way to show language barrier? I'm thinking that (language barrier) sounds like pretty fertile ground.

Incredible work...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's quite easy: If you learn the language - you break the barrier and get the girls ... but we have the best girls!!

Great idea.

Horrible art direction.

Everything looks like it was just pasted there.

Agree with Fabian Kirner. The idea is kinda nice, but the art direction is not good, in all the ads!! Let's be objective people. The images don't come together, wrong perspective, light isn't correct either. Sorry, but it's half way.

keep smilling

EGGO's picture 337 pencils

Art direction is good but I just don't get how it breaks the language barrier.

You have to hate advertising in order to truly love it.

Doesn't work for me, too much of a copy-paste look.
