    Hey rain, thanks for your comment. I’m sure China is not totally like this ad. First of all these ads try to exaggerate. But China also has many problems concerning human rights and rich and poor. Sure there are successful stories of modernized and open China, but there are also many problems out there. Unfortunately. I don’t want to talk about politics now and I do understand that nobody likes an ad like this about his own country, but even though it might be exaggerate, you shouldn’t close your eyes before these problems.

    This is where you can see a successful ad, people talk about and see what the message is about. Like Cory says, I’m sure they don’t invent those numbers. You cannot deny this problem in China.

    I know that many Chinese there are indeed problems, including our friends on the Internet so that, very often we feel very helpless. As you said, we do not discuss political issues, everyone has everyone’s faith……

    Hey Failsafe, thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately I don’t know them, since I collected them from friends, emails, internet and there were mostly no information who did it.

    @rain, don’t worry your English is good. As you said, everybody has it’s own opinion and faith.

    @Gianni, yeah, imagine they would be boring and plain. Nobody would notice them and it wouldn’t get the attention they need.

    I was impressed especially with the non-smoking ads. The toothbrush-toothpaste one is nausiating - and effective! Hope it changes people’s minds about smoking.

    Those smoking ads are scary, and I imagine, pretty effective! The amnesty international ads are downright scary and thought-provoking.

    @Shlomo, I hope so too.
    @Aibal, I guess then they hit the intention to be scary and provoking. :)

    very interesting and pleasing ad. The hungry ad is quiet loyal and can motivate the new helping hands in this world. These ads can break the rocky hearts and let us to know where we are.
