Really cool art and a fair enough idea, but why does the copy look like a ball of pubic hair?

I get Banana Boat, I get Pineapple Express...but What's Coconut Lorry from? And the type looks like it could read Cosmopolitan!!

Someone wanted an easy day Methinks and passed it to a yes man!! O_o

i think the cabin needs a bit of shadow work, it doesn't fit right.

I like the campaign, just not sure about the cause.

Eating local fruit will not lessen air pollution levels for fuck's sake.

Do they think this will happen?

Consumer sees ads, decides to never buy bananas from overseas again, eventually demand for foreign bananas drops, shopkeeper/supermarket tells supplier 'sorry, no more - your product just isn't selling', supplier loses contract, truck stops taking bananas to store, air pollution levels decrease, McCanns Germany wins award for effectiveness. Hmmmmmmm.

C'mon.

Lol! absolutely true, they can they apply the same logic for other products as well!

Eventually we are going to have to live locally to everything we interact with, the days of the 10,000 mile Caesar Salad are over.

Liked the campaign. The copy is strong. I dislike the type. It looks like trying to write a phrase using the mouse.
