What an utter rip off...
Add insult to injury then burn the candle at both ends.

Come on, this was done for aids day.
Insulting.
Probably one of the worst ads I´ve ever seen.
I´m sure that any of the creatives that made it, never had problems with
kids diseases. Happy for them.

Hahaha what the hell is with the pedophile at the top of the stairs... I think even Michael Jackson would make fun of that fake nose.

hahaha
well, what can i say, i wouldn't let my kids hang out with this freaky clown.
the ad is very very macabre.
I don't know about everyone else, but I really don't want the reaper associated in any way with terminally ill children. Unfortunately, your clown won't scare away death.
tasteless.
BAD.... really BAD
and a copy!!!

An odd combination. Kids, death, and humor.

What about the Buyouts for the Death? Was it expensive?
Don't like the motion trails on marbles and reaper. And the hospital...? Jesus... Don't like anything here...

why people use grim in ads if they dont use it propelry
I thought the ad was pretty cool until I started readying all these post then when I saw the AIDS day rip off, I put my game face on. Shame on "Publicis Prague" for not being original and trying to pull one over on us.
Booooo I say, Booo indeed!

mmm its not bad, but that idea was used for the AIDS day, it was the falling bcoz she slipt in a condom like one week ago
i don't totally get this ad and if someone hadn't told me it was for a children's hospital, i'd have had no idea what was going on. that said, i saw the other ad and i don't think you can say it's a rip off. no more than the ten zillion other times people have used the grim reaper in an ad. hell, i remember an ad playstation did a long time ago where people were messing with the grim reaper and the line was "cheat death". so it's a little harsh to say these guys stole their idea when the grim reaper is about the most cliche thing you can use in an ad. if you haven't made ads for very long, it's easy to think this was a steal but if you know your history, you realize it's a steal of a steal of a steal of a steal to the tenth power.
maybe that's the thing we should be talking about. you know?
i feel bad for the kids in that hospital after seeing this ad
there's no way they can beat or cheat death in such way
I don’t get it? It seems that the death angel was going dawn and the kids just joked at him/ It should be batter if he was going up!
OMG. It's Patch Adams.
bravo neil, the most constructive criticism i've seen out of the last fifteen pages.
