Can you kill an idea?
I like the typography and layout. Not sure where this idea is going though. And the body copy is rambling and superfluous.
imagine???? or am i stretching?
Bored again.
no thoughts, no ideas, only appreciattions!
please, if you are determined to kill an ad, at least try to use your brain a little
I think you should kill your own word!
lenon got killed because the guy thot he was not being able to come alive with words to make his lyrics as effective as he used to.
they showed me a picture & i laughed
dignity has never been photographed
Well put.
It's got flaws, but I like this idea. What are the blacked out words supposed to represent? The idea seemed to be leading me to think of bad or hateful words that we could do without, but then seemed to say that there was no way to kill a word but we might be able to strip it of all it's meaning, thereby taking the word back. But then it turns out the ad is for Rolling stone and they aren't going to sell a magazine by saying that they "edit" their words. So it must be that they're saying that Rolling Stone somehow keeps words and ideas alive.....which is nonsense.
This concept would have been better had it been about censorship or freedom of information or something. As it is, it's not really doing anything, but it's still a nice concept.
Doin' it for the points
very thin concept. it's clear that couldn't resist a whole page copy.
Federico Pepe pensa di essere Dio.
Ragazzi, qui ci siamo montati la testa. Salvate l'agenzia per favore.
Don't get at all.
Italians have a particular style. Nothing else to say.
