Das Ist Bad

Looks like I wasn't the only one to cringe at the AIDS 'Mass Murderer' campaign. Check out the Campaign article here .

What Not To Do In Advertising

Headline: The tsunami killed 100 times more people than 9/11. The planet is brutally powerful. Respect it. Preserve it. Advertising Agency: DDB Brazil Executive Creative Directors: Sergio Valente, Rodolfo Sampaio, Julio Andery Creative Directors: Sergio Valente, Rodolfo Sampaio, Julio Andery, Guilherme Jahara Copywriters: Adriano Matos, Rodolfo Sampaio Art Director: Guilherme Jahara Advertising Agency: das comitee, Hamburg, Germany Creative Director: Hans Weishäupl, Dirk Silz Photographer: Uwe Düttmann Published: September 2009 Not sure what's going on this week, but it seems like some ad agencies are on a mission to piss off the world. Don't we do that enough already? For what it's worth, WWF has denied any collaboration with the creators of the 9/11 ad. I'm sure the AIDS client will soon be saying the same. C'mon, guys. Have some damn taste. (I'm actually offended at myself for even posting these blights on humanity.)
