I suspect that all 3 have different copy...but really do you expect anyone to read it?

Sure we can admire the copy, but I agree with Phil - will the average consumer bother?

The average consumer doesn't excist. It would be 1.34 m high and would have one breast and one testicle. The real question is: Where was it placed? And who was it targeted? I guess it would work in the waiting room in a hospital or some kind of place...

It claims Red Cross has a story worth to know... (perhaps people will just admit it has)

I found this very hard to read, I don't know what everyone is exclaiming compliments about.

I completely agree. I found it hard to read, too.

Naturally, my eye read the copy in columns, starting from the left, then center, then the last one to the right.

The art direction is weak, the copy is just average copy. Overall? Nothing spectacular.

Wowsome copy. Awesome art. Good work Amol, Prajato & team. Hae!

P.S.: Read it vertically and then horizontally.

Way too much text, this ad really is in the need of being posted somewhere where the target group has no other option than to read it. Inside of toilet doors at veeeeery spicy restaurants?

I think it's laboriously and meticulously forced.
