Let's pretend there's no violence at all...

...and that there's an idea in this ad.

there is an idea in this ad. despite the fact it's not my opinion on that issue, i don't even think it's a bad idea. BUT it looks lame and the line is too weak.
also would work better talking about computer-addicts, i think.

I like it. Good work. And they have a USP. Nice.

Violent toys and cartoons are the backbone of our generations upbringing, that is if you were born in the 80's.

This is an okay idea wrapped in a nice way. But really, violent toys are not the problem. It should say "Let's keep children away from violent reality". It appears to me that the agency came up with the answer to a problem that doesn't exist.

I think the agency took a problem that exists in the head of parents. but i like your suggestion! a violent reality is bullet proof and makes the whole thing deeper :)

i agree. this is a real problem for the target.
i like the violent reality thing too, but honestly i don't see a problem with saying violent toys, since it is a real problem.

Headline says Keep them away
Visual says put them togther.
Art Direction's strong but the idea isn't.
