Sorry...this one is out rightly horrendous! Very, very weak idea and terrible art direction. Can someone please explain how Diarrhea is connected to this? If you remove the headline this can be an ad for Aids, Cholera or Epidemic...or whatever. The one with the cockroach atleast had something in it. It was pointing directly at the problem. But the others are vague...and leaves me confused!

And why would you want to remove the headline, eh? If I removed your friggin' head even you'd look pretty generic. You're in servicing, arent't you?

i think Timo Kirez had Diarrhea when he was thinking of this ad-chain, remember, each piece of this campaign doesnt relate to the other one!

Ooops! Sorry shaft_drive I didn't realise you had the same idea too. Unfortunately these guys did it first :)

No offense...inspite of being fully aware from our grammar school that diarrhea kills babies...this is just a brilliant ad ;)

And I'm not in servicing...but if I was, we would surely get along real well :)
