I dunno. It looks nice, but I can't say I like it.

Aren't crash test dummies supposed to be... well... subjected to harmful, jarring, forces by crashing? Creating a world of crash test dummies seems to be counter-productive to the message, "Protecting nature". Are we encouraging people to run down giraffes and squish bunnies?

Here's another peeve point: Honda Hybrid is about saving fuel, but this piece feels like its trying to sell its safety features (nothing wrong with using this selling point, but it feels wrong given the product).

My apologies to anyone (everyone?) that feels otherwise and thinks I'm just bashing the work for the hell of it.

I 100% agree with this... for me crash test dummies aren't safe...they "live" dangerous lives...this ad doesn't make sense at all.

It's a nice execution but the message is faulty...and no NOT everyone would get it first time and a good advert cannot have conflicting messages.

Come on, everybody gets it at the first glance. What if we put the rabbits out? What if security is inside not outside... kidding? wtf!

Great idea, a different way to use the dummies, fair concept and nice pic.
Congratulations.

Very nice take on a very old idea. Well done!

edragal's picture 44 pencils

Says nothing like protecting nature... to me it says the car is tougher than everything else and it can be crashed on with no damage...

Very nice execution. beautiful to look, but i agree "designed to protect nature" doesn't make sense here. even better if there was no line at all

mondo's picture 142 pencils

i think it works perfectly. "designed to protect nature" makes perfect sense because when cars are tested for people safety, they use crash test dummies, and this is the stage of testing for nature.

i like it. it's ingenuitive.

kgeiger's picture 6642 pencils

Hmmm... Sorry, but this just doesn't work for me. Don't get me wrong, I get the idea, but the visual just conveys more "unnatural" than "nature"... In my humble opinion...

whitespace's picture 2055 pencils

great ad for carmageddon.
