Kids downing jets with ….. vitamins!
July 23rd, 2006 Zeid Nasser (Admin)
Without wanting to sound too political, consider how useful such vitamins would be to children in a state of war similar to what’s happening in Lebanon.
This was the first idea that came to my mind, so maybe this vitamins company should possibly reconsider such a controversial creative idea. Or, at least, never use it in a region of conflict.
For now, it’s running in South Africa. The advertisement is called ” Supercharged vitamins for kids”, and it’s by Lowe Bull in Johannesburg.

Umm, can’t believe that I am replying to this stupid comment. It is not a controversial idea. It is a plane that isn’r even necessarily a military plane. And if something is controversial you would read about it and have a lot of comments/rplies to your comment.

Thanks for your comment.
As you can see, comments that critisize our opinion get posted.
May I point out that it’s just an opinion regarding this ad, and I feel that calling another opinion ’stupid’ may devalue the discussion….
Our region is in the Middle of a war. It’s all we can think of, and when you see an ad like this …. well, that’s what came to mind.
As for the fact it’s a commercial (airline) jet…. do you really want to tell kids that it’s OK for a jet place to be knocked out of the sky! What about the lives of people on board.
Alright, maybe now I’m pushing it
Thanks for your comment Fionn … and keep visiting AdBlogArabia
