Just wanted to cheer myself up cause Rasmussen is out of the Tour,
but this ad is making me feel even worse.

Stupidity at its best!

chidi's picture

i think it's too sad a reminder to use as ad. the idea can be given expression in other ways.

soulbearer's picture 209 pencils

The idea is very good. But why this execution?!?! bad taste

hang-the-dj's picture 1270 pencils

The most offensive ad I've seen since that Lego Twin Towers debacle.

Fidel's picture 36 pencils

I think it's awesome. Also like the art direction.

Darrin Stephens's picture 242 pencils

Well of course someone named "Fidel" would feel that way.

smudge23's picture 173 pencils

Come on guys. This "execution" is funny. It's in such bad taste that it transcends offensiveness.

Gest's picture

She's D&G victim or what?
this is cheap, it has nothing to do with the product. bad taste, bad ad, bad everything

Kelevra's picture 20 pencils

Chillingly effective, grabs your attention, but I dont like it personally.

BJ's picture 102 pencils

its not though is it! unless you 14 and want to wind people up then you say it is.

adgenius's picture

Honestly the ad could have been executed in a better way...shoot the woman so you can reach the man...can I get a men?

tantrik_indian's picture 953 pencils

At one shot I felt it was funny. Good execution. ;-)

shockingly good!!

Bauducco's picture 297 pencils

I´m not from USA, but I think it´s offensive. C´mon, you can´t make fun of a tragic incident like Kennedy´s death! Bad, bad taste!

BJ's picture 102 pencils

i agree Bauducco!

ChuckNorris's picture 836 pencils

Of course you can. They just did it and I'm laughing.

SERGI

Thanks for being helpful!

sold's picture 2623 pencils

who make this should be in jail.
we should create with responsability AND respect!
REALLY BAD!

BJ's picture 102 pencils

I agree its bad but freedom to express yourself. Putting them in jail is a bit of a Stalin controlled state measure. But your right some respect and just common sense.

sold's picture 2623 pencils

sorry my english, i dont make myself clear: i intend to say that the people do this is already in jail... look like prision job.
and BTW: i dont like USA, kennedy or jackie at all...
i think: explore the tragedies is like explore the girls asses, just another "common-sense-way-beetwen-us" of do it ads polemic, appeal, but not clever. on this case even worst because does not work, too much risk, people can hate the ad, and the brand. but i can be wrong, mr. bush.

garotoxico's picture 155 pencils

EXCELENTE EJECUCION

djspiralz's picture 490 pencils

¿Te parece tan buena como para llamarla excelente?

darrenalawi's picture 146 pencils

Interesting, controversial but effective in its message. I am not offended but there is no way of moving away from the fact the it depicts a woman being shot in the head. A tough image by anyones standards.

Maxwedge's picture 562 pencils

Bad taste... (laughed my arse off)
Like the Fed behind the car and the drivers expressions.

SI, EJECUCIÓN JAJAJA

sometimes's picture

erm.. whats the msg, this ads putting across here?

Guest's picture

Seriously? You don't get it?

circee®'s picture

Aggressive and tasteless, I agree but the fact is that this pub reaches its purpose: make speak about her

LA MAMA DE LOS QUE CRITICAN's picture

El tiro se lo deberían haber pegado a los ''nenes de mamá'' que dicen que esto es malo por mal gusto...

Es una MIERDA, en eso estamos de acuerdo, pero porq es una idea aburrida, no porq la ejecucion sea agresiva...

...que gente maricona...

seguro que si te tocaba un brief asi uds hacian una familia sonriente con product shot...pelotudo!

sarahb's picture

worst ad i've seen. disgusting.

x-men's picture 340 pencils

decadent

x-mom's picture

uncanny

pussy.

Dorgano's picture

What next, concentration camp humor? Best revenge? Don't buy the magazine. Ever.

Guest's picture

Sick, truly sick.

Guest's picture

not appropiate, not creative, and definately not funny!

Guest's picture

Wow, personally for me that ad is so conflicting. I'm actually studying under Digital Media and Technology which falls under advertisement, so I can see that the point got across, and I mean it really hit you in the face when you read "If men are your target, make sure you don't miss them". I'm 50/50 on it.

this is terrible. the design is good, but the whole idea is awful. why would you poke fun at something so sad?

Guest's picture

I think it's possible that if this makes you laugh you should consider examining every aspect of your life.

Super Muhtar's picture 267 pencils

a tradegy like that, shouldn't be used in this way.

Guest's picture

Very offensive..
