these are so disturbing. besides being visually interesting, it, in no way, influences me to repaint my walls.

Yeah...that certainly does not make me want to buy thier paint. I'm really getting tired of these "gross people into buying your product" ads. We have a frozen dead cat in one ad, puke in the other ad and saggy tits in this ad. No thanks!

Woah! Now that's a ballsy strategy.
I've got to know how this campaign tracks!

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

Also, if you look at the copy closely you'll notice that Which is misspelt.

My grandma and grandpa will be very sad to see this ad, i will be sad too.
being old is not a fault, old people had their prettiness too.

Exactly, just look at what Dove are doing in their ads at the moment. Showing the beauty and grace of aging bodies.
With more and more baby boomers with money growing old, I don't think this is the right time to be advertising like this. They have the money and are putting money into their houses.

if they got Ron Mueck for this they could have done it as an ambient. this would be sensational.
very effective to make people talk about it.

I find it funny that their logo has dripping paint on it.

Well, it's different I'll give you that.

I'm guessing there was a third in the series, but it was a load of balls.

yes, it's always better to show the advantages of the product rather than showing the disadvantages of other products. as a client i would probably fear that people could remember my brand as 'the one with the ugly tits'. once you're gray, you stay gray.
still think this would be a funny ambient

this campaign makes me laugh. not sure in a good or bad way. sometimes negative approach can be mislead that it's foem the product you're advertising. by the way, another ad works better with nicer angle of photograpgh.
