Brilliant, it's about time the industry once again recognised the value and talent needed for long copy advertising. Any idiot can come up with a visual ad idea or pun, or if an idea is lacking use a picture of some hot woman wearing almost nothing, we see it time and time again, but true creative ability is being able to craft an ad that makes people take notice for its quality not just its imagery. Well done, CD's take notice, words change lives, value long copy and those that can produce it, they are rare indeed.

uh.....this is a visual idea!
The writers didn't even write the copy. They are real testimonies.
The idea of the ad is to show the testimonies as lines in a ruled notebook. (a visual idea)

what make me wanna read copy?
Nothing against long copy, however, if it does absolutely nothing whatsoever to entice me to read it. (like this terrrible ad)
I can't be bothered.
So it fails in that its message is entirely ignored.
And the letter itself? I did read the first two sentences and the dull, cheesy words, then was overcame with indifference, not sympathy.
Awful.
We're going to need more lube.
major eye strain. can't imagine reading this in a magazine. the words are like 4 pt.
ridiculous.

I agree. Type is way too small. Doesn’t work.
