That they have failed so comprehensively in this instance - and that the commissioning body has suffered a simultaneous brainmelt - is a hell of a lot more troubling than the kids drinking Buckfast at the end of my street.<BR/><BR/>Although I agree that advertising alone can't solve a social problem, I do believe it can help - it's just that it's never going to gain any traction when the driving force is a mixture of hysteria and lazy stereotyping.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21811294.post-65173567200084263442008-12-12T11:32:00.000+00:002008-12-12T11:32:00.000+00:00don't think this problem can be solved with advert...don't think this problem can be solved with advertising and I'd really like the powers that be to stop spunking my hard earned cash on a load of tosh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21811294.post-31757842130559265582008-12-12T10:46:00.000+00:002008-12-12T10:46:00.000+00:00thetuckshop.I think that commercial you linked to ...thetuckshop.<BR/>I think that commercial you linked to is brilliant.<BR/>That's the way to do propaganda.<BR/>That device (crooked little finger) would work great on bus backs, petrol pump nozzles, and lots of ambient.<BR/>As a device punters can use, it would catch on and create absolutely tons of free media.<BR/>Wish I'd done it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21811294.post-56084891561201960872008-12-12T03:47:00.000+00:002008-12-12T03:47:00.000+00:00I'm a young Australian and this post appealed to m...I'm a young Australian and this post appealed to me because our public service ads all follow the same formula. Be it anti-smoking or anti-binge drinking, they all inadvertently glorify the product they're supposed to be warning you about. <BR/><BR/>All of them except this brilliant anti-speeding campaign by Clemenger BBDO Sydney. Aimed at young men, it uses the tagline, “Speeding. No one thinks big of you”, to such ego-shattering effect. <BR/><BR/>http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=c2nvAFOk7x0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
