where is the idea? don't get it
The client is called "Cheaters Private Investigations." I would assume that they would examine this family and see whether or not the light-skinned red head boy is the son of the man depicted as the father in the photo. The girl has a striking resemblance to the parents; the boy, not so much. Therefore, he (or she) would call CPI.
Thanks for the explanation. Now this series of adverts makes some sort of sense.
But it would seem that the cultural context is limited to those societies that unfortunately still pay attention to questions of race and/or look down upon adoption.
This is appalling. They're just looking for money, and if that means ruining a family then so be it.
In the words of Rambo: First Blood part 3;
"Fuck 'em".
"stay low, move fast"
I have two comments:
1- From the perspective of this ad. Only women are prone to cheat.
2- I would like to hear what other mulattoes have to say about this.
I know enough ginger kids with non ginger parents to give this ad gingervitis
Not that I think this ad is good in ANY way, mind you, but what they are saying is "If you are at all suspicious call us". Kind of a "Stop being suspicious and know for sure, whatever the answer may be".
This is still a bad ad.
lame.
Ahem, anybody ever hear about the "redheaded stepchild"? come on guys.

Why cant he just be adopted.
Malisimo...
is this just like a big joke or something? because i don't get it at all. not even a little. if it's a real client, that's a problem. if it's for an award show it's probably also a problem. by the logic of this, my real life brother and sister who have red hair are not from my family even though none of the rest of us have red hair? that's not very smart. but then again...if it's true, how did dad have the time to have a secret life? jesus, now i'm confused.
Are your "real life" brother and sister also a different race than you? If so, your dad should have called Cheaters.
Where's the Angelina and Brad?
So weak... and they are all watching in different directions... maybe the women is looking at her secret lover ?!!
Mindhunter: KILL THE CD AND THE CREATIVE DEPARTMENT. THEN CHOP OFF THEIR BODIES TO BE SENT TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD AND ERASE THEIR HISTROY. HORRIBLEEEEEEEEEE........
Whoah, got some anger management issues here?
I thought this site provided comments for constructive criticism?
I think the idea is cool but could've been executed better though.
