I Guess These Models Don't Sell Products Quite As Well
Check out this satirical advertising campaign. The items are not for sale; the purpose of the image is to show the difference between how first-world consumers look at products and what they might mean to other parts of the world.
We finally watched "12 Years a Slave" this weekend and I'm not going to say I enjoyed it, because that's not the correct response - it was hard to watch. I'm glad I did, though.
There is something really bizarre and almost offensive about these pictures. Like the people who made them have no idea what they are actually saying. Frightening, in a big way.
different parts of the world need to advertise there own ways and it may not be how we expect them to but its what they have to do so with. it may be products we are familiar with but just not how we would put the product on the market.
Wow - that really does make a point!
ReplyDeleteThat's creativity at its best and of course it made me think, thanks for sharing :)

We have so many resources to care for those less fortunate and yet...

ReplyDeleteWow ... really makes me uncomfortable ... Thank you for sharing and making us think.
ReplyDeleteFil's response says it all. This bothers me, though I can't explain it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it though.
Great images, which remind me yet again why I donate money each month.
