just because something is in archive does NOT necessarily make it good. half the stuff in Archive is crap.

That's because the art direction is rather decent. The idea is cheesy and old.

Just because something has been done, doesn't make it ineffective. Wheels have been around thousands of years, are we going to start criticizing the makers of wheels for not being more creative?

The facts here are as follows:

1) This is not an ad for a specific product, it is more of a public service announcement.
2) The general public doesn't look at ads all day and doesn't know/care if something has been done before.

Try to comment on whether THIS AD communicates the desired message effectively. Stop criticizing the agency or artists and start critiquing the ad, that's why we're supposed to be here in the first place!

You're right I didn't mean it's uneffective. It's ok to put these in India because people there never seen this message.
But then, why send it to Adsoftheworld or to any creative award???
