There Is New Shit Under The Sun. There are still BigBadFatMadafaka ideas.
so many ads with dictators as saddam or Hitler... every week we have one to comment...
I love humor in advertising and this isn't it. Maybe if the guy hadn't been executed it would be better, but he was. Whatever the pro's and con's of his regime and the subsequent invasion I think this doesn't have a place in advertising
I beg to differ with the last comment. I see no great sin in using the image of such an instantly recognizable, albeit notorious figure in an ad. In fact, I think if we're in the business of making impact-full ads, that may be the way to go. My gripe is that it just not very intelligent at all.
