  Thats funny they put the typographer but not the photographer.
  Elias Nehme, the typographer must have really thought long and hard to choose that simple font which looks like an arial or something and put it bottom right. This guy needs a holiday now.

  I think this ad works and thats what advertising is all about, selling products.
  Its not going to win anything, its not breakthrough but it works.

  i think that the idea is over used, i also dont like the execution especially the photography (i think its stock photo)..

  It’s as weak as piss. Oh let’s make a kid tough by putting gawdy ugly tattoos all over him and give him a pretentious snarl like he’s super tough. Pathetic. A much better solution was done in Singapore by Saatchi showing an Xray of an arm flexing a muscle except the twist was the muscle was made of bone. The line was “for strong bones”. Same strategy but far more lateral and unexpected. This is crap.

  It is not a tattoo.! Actually the boy has a strong bones. He never broke his arm before as boys did . So he writes and signatures his arm. So simple ..so creative Bravo!!

  I didn’t get that at all. But now that you’ve explained it this ad is even worse because they made them all look like tattoos. If you were signing a real plaster on a broken arm you write messages like: “Get well soon love mum”. “Bet you can’t wait to get the plaster off John”. “Is it itchy? Sue” etc etc. they all looked like tattoos with “I love mum” “I am the man” etc etc.No one would write that on a plaster. Noughts and crosses yes but that’s all. 0outa10

  hate it

• 11. restless  |  August 27th, 2008 at 3:35 pm

  i agree with Creative Rules.

  Agree with Dozero. Since he doesn’t really get his arm broke, that’s why he wrote like that. A boy just know that writing in plaster bones like tattoo is cool. He doesn’t really imitate what people usually write on it.

  Shiella No logic No understanding??????

  No Creative rules is the only comment here that makes all sense. THey look like tatos and not look like plaster writings.
