This doesnt works for me.
Both, kids and dogs, can have a strong jaw or teeth.
But the kid is a kid and the dog is an animal.
Thumbs Down
original for toothpaste.
student brief
Bah! The concept has been done too many times... and children won't start to bite everyone just because they have strong teeth. They would smile, instead! :D
totally agree.
agree, they would smile and dance and enjoy their smile and smile even more.
only kids with ugly teeth bite people.
Kids do bit on everything! :)
not my cup of tee
This would only work for me if the copy said something about the kid 'teething', when it's known that kids are constantly chewing on things.
shouldnt it say "beware of the kid" instead of beware of kid.
Intersting look at toothpaste, i like the thought but i know for a fact that this wasnt done for the Egyptian market, first it would be in arabic and second there are only stray dogs in egypt.
Beware of the bad ads.
Gary Larson did it 12 years ago
so this is where the inspiration came from. awesome.
You're absolutely right!
Only it was "Beware of Doug".
LOL! i remember that one!
wow i thought it was going to say beware of dog because it looks like a beware of dog sign and then i read the end and it said kid and i was like omfg wtf happened brilliant lol i see what u did there. uh, what i meant was, this shit is horrendous.
ridicule. crétins!

Vive La Aducation!
i could think similar at ninth grade.. whats the big deal..
Intelligent ads are the need of the hour.
justpassingby had a previous comment (see JWT Johannesburg's 'Kleenex' submission) about the ad not reflecting the country. strange that I don't see a comment from him here about Arabic being the predominant language spoken in Egypt. Perhaps this ad is not truly reflecting Egyptian culture by not running in Arabic. Besides, I doubt the Signal target audience in Egypt would get this. Dogs are viewed as incredibly dirty in Arabian culture, so the client would NEVER allow a piece of communication with a reference to dogs - even by alluding to it by changing "Dog" to "Kid".
