Ads with reference to London bombings blocked
October 14th, 2006 Zeid Nasser (Admin)
A controversial campaign which makes references to the London Bombings has been prevented form release, following public outratge at the poster slogans preceding the planned multimedia campaign.
It’s called the “Campaign Against Living Miserably” which aims to raise the issue of male-suicide.
The ad features a bus that is blown up and says, ‘Last year, 4 suicidal British men got our attention. Unfortunately, 973 others didn’t. Text CALM to 80082.’
The campaign was created by Ogilvy and Mather.
Read the details at MediaGuardian’s website.
