You can't see the sky from the bottom of the sea. This is extremely stupid.

Bad art direction (why are there clouds if its under the water?)

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

I believe the term is 'conceptual' art direction, tt.
Where the writer snarls "Don't touch it!" ;)

Duh, now I get it!
Sharks will mutate because of global warming and will learn to fly.

Oh my god!!! They added a blue layer on top of the photo! And then, they added sharks! Briliant...

Maybe I should buy some real estate on Himalayas. Will be quite a good investment in the time to come.

Maybe they should have used something directly from the movie Waterworld

Would have made nice tv. A dark, deserted city, bathed in blue light, then out of a doorway swims a shark. Pull back, reveal......blah blah.

That said, it's not working here as well as it could. To far removed from the subject, that it creates distance for the veiwer, and when the message is supposed to urgent you'd think they'd try and pull the veiwer in...........that make sense?

But I don't care anymore. There's a bag of Maoam chewy sweets in the room and they are like crack.

See-Ya!

Doin' it for the points

Whaaaaaa, flying sharks...

This darn global warming thing... look what it is doing to the evolution!

Beatboxer's picture 1523 pencils

Yeeeeeee, me like it.
Let us have a world at sea... I'll order some goggles right away!

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

I like it, but there are a shiteload of these sinking world, world under sea etc.

For me I would have preffered it if it had looked more like it was under water, not just a couple of sharks stuck on a picture of a dreary city.

well who cares what I think, but 6/10 from ol tagnuts.

"Nature is revolting"? Clunky copy there.

I'm still not convinced with these types of ads, using hyperbole to try and scare people into doing something about Global Warming. I think it deadens the senses, making people feel that nothing can be done about it and so they switch off. These ideas usually look like some kind of Hollywood disaster movie poster, which again is not a good thing in my book.

I have seen a recent online execution here: http://www.bannerblog.com.au/2007/04/wwf_do_something_now.php

I think it does the job a lot better even if you'll need broadband to view a tiny banner. That's my opinion.
