Err... this looks more like a Christmas tree, not "getting your fill". Interesting visual, terrible line.

me myself and irene's picture 1256 pencils

now this is a good copy for the visual, kaceres... it would've been more interesting.
Seems all the problem here is the copy then.

nemesis's picture 637 pencils

what is this supposed to mean? is this really supposed to be a christmas tree, or it just looks like one by accident? what should i say to my doctor? "i've had my fill, gimme pfizer meds"? sorry, this doesn't make any sense to me.

Adlibe's picture 58 pencils

yeah, i'm not sure it makes sense either. you dont wait to have your fill of smoke, unless you want to have cancer first then go see the doctor afterwards..., it's like it's asking to wait till you've damaged your lunges enough then think of a solution. Plus, Pfizer? meds? what that does that have to do with a doctor? and i don't see the relation to christmas or the partying and the heavy smoking that goes with it (it's usually more about drinking anyways)... you guys sure that's supposed to look like a christmas tree? ...

- Cool artworks and great ideas make the world go round -

teenie's picture 1910 pencils

Pfizer can't sell meds directly to you - you have to go through your doctor. It's a classic pharma ploy: "here, read this and go bug your doctor to give you a prescription."

I don't know about the Christmas tree either - that's what it looks like to me, and it's coming up on Christmas time, but maybe they meant something else.

supersupergirl's picture 296 pencils

i like kaceres copy... at least makes sense with the visual...
