ha ha ha ha ha ha. i love it. maybe they can campaign it out using the other formulas:
1. what are you going to do with all your old global warming ads now that (fill in the product) has rendered them obsolete?
2. imagine a world without global warming.
3. don't you wish everything was made like global warming?
what i think though is that like most good advertising, or propaganda, or music or art, it is accomplishing it's goal. we're discussing it. debating stuff.
so on that end they work just fine.
and also I think it bodes well for us writers out there, even if the copy is more of a list that also works as a visual.
I'm sorry if you misunderstood my meaning.
My critique actually had nothing to do with you at all.
My point was that i thought the Huffington ads, (not the Saigon ad you referred to) were not that great in execution and like most political ads, were pure propaganda. And propaganda is propaganda however way you slice it and whether you agree with it or not.
And that during any war, there is always a dissenting opinion, and it is usually a justified one at that.
I didn't say that was a good or a bad thing. I was just stating an objective opinion.
i certainly wasn't taking you to task for yours, but I thank you for sharing it.
I was merely critiquing the ads in some sort of context.
I'm not a republican by any stretch of the imagination, but I think we're oversimplifying everything.
At one point, the American people were against revolutionary war and The Civil War, too. Being anti-war isn't reserved of the latter half of the twentieth century. Neither is examining issues on the most superficial ways and using name-calling and personal attacks to try and win an argument.
ALSO I think you're overlooking the fact that regardless of what side you're on politically, those posters are nothing more than propaganda in the truest sense of the word. Is that something to be proud of?
And exactly how hard is it to make a poster like that? Haven't we seen bumper stickers ad nauseam like that for the past six years or so?
To me it's a bit like doing an Amnesty International or Peta ad at this point. Not very hard.
And art directionally speaking I feel like the stuff is pretty, (sorry) conservative. Black against white. Wow. The 1980's are back.
okay so sex sells, but um, bestiality? thats just freaking creepy.
and is it just me or is that a loooooooong way to go for an orangina?
but i do have to say, nice touch with the latin music halfway through. otherwise i wouldn't know it was supposed to be sexy. but adding a stereotype like that really helps me get it.
two hooves up!
