Can social advertising be banned? For ever? Or better abolish the Lions social categories and spare us ugly deaths and Bush every other fucking day.

'in fact he was crossing on zebra, hit by the other car and landed on the windshield of the green car driven by the lady.
Pathetic scenes... full of drama... poor super hero ; (

GOOD??? THIS IS AWFUL! SO OK, LETS DONATE ORGANS AND ENCOURAGE TO DRIVE LIKE MANIACS!

mlsman5000's picture 128 pencils

I'd say his organs would be fucked after being hit like that. Should have been a campaign too

DISTASTEFUL

JamurPutih's picture 255 pencils

well..
in my humble opinion
if you die hit by a car

is the organ still in good condition?

end of joy, enjoy

Wordnerd's picture 5288 pencils

this is soo stupid! yeah, leave the impression of the own horrible death instead of something living thanks to the donor. this will rather get people NOT to donate organs

j4son's picture 255 pencils

interesting shot..like your spirit ascending, looking down at your body, weird.nice though

Guest commenter's picture

Nice thought!

robot-rock's picture 815 pencils

que estupido.. es poco pertinente..

phoonCK's picture

it could have been done by using a white outline around the victim, or a blue/black tent over the body, where police usually use for dead victims instead of showing the person himself. bit distasteful, but the concept is there. strong visual but too strong for a campaign ad for organ donation pledge.

extraboy's picture 93 pencils

sad copywrite

theanc's picture 2458 pencils

Not a good way to sell the idea. It's cool to show the consequences of donating not the means.

skinny's picture 165 pencils

In bad taste. There's nothing funny about death. Quite clearly, the creatives who can relate being hit by a car with a comic-strip heroic pose have never lost a loved one through a car accident. Shame on their creative directors and their dumb-ass client.

Guest commenter's picture

stupid!

RotoBozo's picture

Now THAT makes me wanna pledge my organs...

lowieke1984's picture 2 pencils
