I think this is my favorite... the other two are kind of disturbing!, and not as clear to me.
Great art direction though!

I'm just a student. DON'T SHOOT!

I'm with you on that one, definitely the best ad out of the whole campaign. Very clean execution. The terrible execution on the subsequent ad kinda kills it. The cactus may be a bit over-the-top but it conveys the message, I suppose. It is a pretty clever concept overall.
