Bang on.
Great thinking.
And precisely how George W & Co. would see it.

welllll.....I think one of this campaign is enough
Good point.
>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.
this is wikd
love it!
It looks cracking,
I feel like a party pooper to say it, but I think it loses some potential impact by making the war look cool, also those games always suck your money in and you lose.
They're a con.
Not sure if the IRC want to be associated with that.

I have to agree with the B.G on this one.
Also The line at the bottom of the page should really stand out more. It's what drive the point home. Other wise it just looks like some sort of game.
Nice idea tho
7.5/10
Doin' it for the points
this is bloody good. only one comment, the little line down at the bottom is important and could do with a bit more emphasis rather than be treated like a legal line no one reads. I like the way this shows the urge to reach out to those in need without neglecting the difficulty factor. well done again.
I second that. They should have also made it a bit more dramatic. It's too much game.

My name is Dick Huges and I approve this campaign. Well done.
As already said by Mr. Bugger Grips those kind of apparatures make you loose your money before you eventually get hold of a toy.
I think the message of the ad is flawed as it adds a gambling feel to the work of the IRC, I don't want to play for lives.
yes, agree with some comments above me.
it looks playful and don't think it's appropriate for the brand.
I dunno. To me these sort of trivialize the gravity of war. I look at these and see a game. Not something war is usually associated with.
isn't war trivial these days? I love these ads, they are beautiful and powerful. And not every organization that help people in war zones need to show blood and people dieing.
GOLD !
Awesome and i don't agree with the "game view" and "this game always suck money" said above.
