thats fucking stupid that "no disease can get to u"... not at all!... like the art work only

Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm

so many things come the mind when this ad is seen, one strong believe is that, this ad or the entire campaign came in response to the swine flu that is attacked the amreicas, i think this is where the headline came from : No disease can get to you.

for the art work i dont feel the shadows casted are real, they are not done perfectly, overall the idea is not a wow, but again there would be a response fro people for what is going on in the region.

Where I live and work, there is a medical commitee or smthg, that would NEVER alow a claim like this. it's really exagerated. and to be honest, this metaphore doesn't quite work. maybe it's a well known product...some sort of coke in the pharma category...otherwise...there is NO real benefit and ansolutly NO reason to believe. ans the art should have worked more on those shades. seems to me like he got lazy there.

"U think it's perfect?! Press delete and start again!"

I'm pretty sure no legal department would let this go out.

amazing .. great idea

I can't believe this kind of medical claim would be allowed in any country. It's a cool idea, but that's a ridiculous claim that would never be approved by any sort of regulatory agency.

what kind of disease? Brick syndrome? baseball bat flu? these are nonsense metaphors.

All of you guys mocking this ad will be sorry when next year Dragon flu comes out and you won't have been taking your medicine and grow scales and breath fire....like a dragon...because these "flus'" are real...

Doin' it for the points

Doesn´t work for me, but I agree with everartz. They probably did it based on the swine flu

A little strange, seems quite a weird group of metaphors for you and disease. Seems to work somehow, but I don't like the message or the line at all.

We're going to need more lube.

There's this thing called Truth In Advertising that makes this campaign ridiculous, if not illegal. Scali, McCabe and Sloves lost the Volvo account for committing the same mistake.

For every vision, there is a revision

time-wrap is the perfect medicine for advertising.. just save the campaign :)

Great job.

i only like the art work

Irónico que en una agencia en la que solo hay directores de arte lo que le resta al aviso es la dirección de arte.
La idea es excelente igual, los comerciales están muy bien también. Buena onda La Facultad.
