I guess this ad is creative or something but to me it just rings a loud “no shit”. It’s asking “Would you care more if it happened on you’re own doorstep?” and…duh. We literally wouldn’t be able to function if we absorbed all the pain and horror of every sick and dying child across the globe. wtf? No shit things impact us more when we’re in closer proximity to it.
But on the other side: it’s a cool photoshopping of a skeletal kid in an urban playground, so I guess that’s cool enough for a post…
This New Years, be mindful before making the big strip with that random ho…
Creative Public Interest ad – Your tips help expose criminals
I heard this ridiculous waste of taxpayer money on the radio at least 4 years ago. I was shocked and dismayed to hear it again a few days ago. Its sooooo stupid. When I first heard it I thought Tyrone was a white guy with a country accent, and I thought that again hearing it after a few years. Then Grahm comes in with the punchline and I guess Tyrone is black and the lady on the other end of the phone knew that because his name is Tyrone. That’s how you tell people’s race you’ll notice. Because she hears Juan’s accent for awhile and only denies him the apartment after finding out that his name is Juan.

HEY.. YOU. KID. Don’t copy that floppy. Cuz if you do, computer game makers will stop making new games cuz they will think the market hates that title and the industry will shut down. Is that really what you want?… is it?
What if this “buy a copy per location you wish to play it” policy was applied to board games? Buy one box of Monopoly for school, but if you want to play it at home you are cheating the game makers if you don’t buy a new set? Huh?…
