No matter how well you dress it up, a bad pun is still a bad pun.
Nicely executed though...

You guys have got the wrong analogy.
You don't play with your health like lego.
You play with your life like Russian roullette.
For God's sake this is way off the mark.
All that hard work on the execution for nothing.
Agreed. Perhaps a better execution would be a LEGO heart with pieces missing on a white background. It's about cholesterol afetr all. More direct. This seems like an excuse to do Photoshop (though well done photoshop)
The production looks good, but... the idea is just not there.
play...legos get it? this is not good. seems like a college student's first thought. i hope that's the creative director in the hospital bed.
How dumb does this comes across?
"It's Mabo. It's land rights. It's the VIBE, your honour!"
>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.
Punny, but it looks fantastic.
I liked those two (this one and the toy room): they are fresh, got a good execution and a copy that got right there. The only thing I didnt get was some of those comments that sounds like clients talking. "I don't like the Legos" and stuff..Come on! :)
g o o o d because this old man seemed to be sick
Oh, my! i think I've finally lost my senses... I can't seem to figure out this ad... now I'm getting paranoid... maybe I HAVE lost my senses! HELP!!!

they r saying dont play wid ur health like kids play wid these games..
just lame. just lame. just LAME.
It sucks really bad! Worse campaign in these last five days. No doubt.
Has it occured to you that the idea of "Don't play... " may be stronger, better or more literal in Portugese, and that the reason you find it far fetched is bacause you are referring to the english translation?
I find it very clever, as dont play with your health like children play with lego, very good!
Nahhhh, I've already seen so many of these - serious or adult issues put in a child's world. Snooze! Plus it doesn't even work that well, I don't think.....
