long body copy... it has to b indra sinha... compelling headlines that make u read the long copy... one sentence leads to another and before u know u hav read the whole thing... highly penetrating... the art of long body copy has not died...

True and compelling events are always worth noticing. These are a great example, but you're left wondering where the line is drawn between something that is news and something that is advertising.

to be honest - this is advertising in its most powerful form: informative, emotional, strong, catchy, empathetic... superb campaign!
I think that 'news' design only makes it stronger and more relevant as 'ad' design ever would.

As flies to wanton boys
Are we to Union Carbide.
They kill us for their sport.

I hope those responsible, those f*ckers from Union Carbide, will burn in hell in neverending pains.

...though it's a long copy, after you start you can't stop until you finish reading the whole story. I was really moved by this story and the writing is an excellent one. Good job.

Good Job??? You don't tell Michael Schumacher 'good drive' or Michael Jordan 'good shot' and you certainly don't tell Indra Sinha 'Good job'. Sorry mate.
The man is a legend! You'll find his work in the Copy Bible.
