不够美。。。也不需要广告语,如果把杯子中间的的人处理得特别唯美(死亡的凋零美),会不会形成比较特别的对比了?

Tantalizing. Refreshing. Sobering.

"don´t drink and drown" is probably the best advice since the "don´t eat cake and die in a car accident" campaign

don't go to a pool to swim after drinking... you can do everthing else... is this the message here!!! pardon me if i misunderstood...

smile plz!!!!

For some reason I don't think they're talking about your little backyard swimming pool or your community pool...

How about Indian fucking Ocean???

Well, the verse "Don't drink and drown" might sound silly but in fact it carries a meaning. Very important meaning.

In Queensland we lose a bunch of idiots every year to drinking and drowning. It's not relevant everywhere, but in Australia it's culturally pertinent. Beautiful and chilling idea.

Sh*t I had to read who sponsored the campaign to actually believe the statistic. Good campaign since is has to do with facts.

How many art directors does it take to shoot a glass of beer?

Guest's picture

some who don't have anything of value to say will say something anyway.
So what if it took all that many art directors. Jeez!
Its well done and relevant!
