PETA decided to do some shockvertising by showing that burgers make kids fat and therefore anyone feeding burgers to their kids would be just as well locking them in a basement filled with flesh eating rats.
Well, that’s me convinced.
Clever Copywriting
Quite a bold statement there, PETA.

Monday, February 8th, 2010
I wonder what the model for this ad thought when she saw it. She was told that she was going to be advertising cheese.
This ad was found at contexts.org, which is a very good blog on the effect of different images on the wider mentality of society.
How to make friends and influence people
Friday, February 5th, 2010Anti Scientology group ‘Anonymous’ decided it would be a great idea to recruit people to their cause by calling them ‘fags’.
I wonder how well the event turned out.

Redhouse Furniture unite the world
Thursday, February 4th, 2010This excellent advert for Redhouse Furniture in the US was clearly created on a shoestring budget, but its message is priceless. The production house that made it have gone on record to say that the advert is racial, but not racist.
I have seen no comment from them about the outrageous allegations that it has absolutely nothing to do with furniture.
Airbrushed for Change
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010The UK has been going wild for the number of modifications that have been made to the recent poster promoting the right-of-centre Conservative Party, featuring the face of their leader, David Cameron.
While the original ad was great, and showed David Cameron as a strong willed man who is caring and means business at the same time, there were still those who thought that the poster required a few improvements, just so that the message of the poster could be clarified.
So many new versions of the poster were made that a website, mydavidcameron.com was set up specifically to showcase these designs.
Here are a few of my personal favourites from the site:
