Caça palavras para fumantes

houtlust — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 23:49:00 GMT

Ad for ADESF (Associação de Defesa da Saúde do Fumante), the Brazilian anti-smoking organisation.
Although I don't read Portuguese, the copy is obvious. All kind of diseases which you can get when you smoke.
Headline: Caça palavras para fumantes
Hunting Words for smokers (good translation?)

More World Water Day guerilla.
For World water day, Intermon Oxfam placed giant straws in the the manholes of Madrid, Barcelona and Zaragoza with the message, Would you drink from this water? Thousand of people don't have any other choice.

Intermon Oxfam got a dedicated website with information and video about the waterproblem.
Thanks again to Advertising for Peanuts for sending.

Ad for the Turkish National Handicap Association. Goal is to raise awareness and funds to increase quality of living conditions for handicapped citizens.
Found on both of the best Turkish adblogs: Elmaaltshift and Bigumigu.

Update: Tulinity posted the translation of the copy in the comments:
"There wasn't upon a time...
Wish everything could be just like in fairy tales where disabilities are not an obstacle to live".
Thanks Tulinity

Great guerilla made for the World Water Day, march 22. The stickers are being stuck in washbasins at public spaces around Belgium and Mexico City, where the 2006 World Water Forum was held.

GREEN Belgium is highlighting this cause by placing stickers on washbasins in 130 public toilets in 9 Belgian towns. The sticker features an African child whose mouth is positioned at the washbasin's overflow, so that the safe, drinkable tap water flows straight into his mouth. It also features the message: “It only takes you a second to access drinking-water, he has to walk 20km. Water is a human right. Help us give them access to drinking-water.”

Jo Van Cauwenberge: “This year's World Water Forum is held in Mexico City, so Belgium will not be the only country to see these stickers. They will also be displayed in congress toilets and hotels in which congress participants are staying so that the message is driven home.”

Aim High Enough

Finally ads from Japan. One of my goals is to publish social campaigns from all over the world.
These ads were found by Advertisingforpeanuts, thanks for sending.

The outdoor ads are now seen on the streets of Tokyo. It's, if I understand it clear, for the World Down Syndrome Day.
Down Syndrome International (DSI) has officially earmarked 21 March as World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD). The date was chosen to signify the uniqueness of Down syndrome in the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome and is used synonymously with Down syndrome.

Copy: Down Syndrome. Aim High Enough

I decided some time ago not to publish anti-smoking ads here until I'm going to stop by myself.
This could be the time to stop. Otherwise they could use my lungs to make highways.
No credits (anyone?)

More creepy than epilepsy

houtlust — Sat, 18 Mar 2006 22:53:00 GMT

New striking and hilarious campaign in the Netherlands about epilepsy.

Copy: Er zijn engere dingen dan epilepsie
There are many things more creepy then epilepsy.

You don't have to be ashamed about epilepsy. Altough most people with epilepsy find it difficult to talk about their illness.
This is what's this campaign is about: talk about it.

Media: Tv, print, outdoor and website.
Agency Bottomliners

In the tv-spot you see legging for men. How creepy can that be?

People are asked to sent in their photo with more creepy things then epilepsy. The best photo's will be published on the campaign website.

Organdonor.org is the site from the U.S. National Transplant Society.

End the daylight saving time

houtlust — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 23:31:00 GMT

Peter from vvgkteksten.blogspot.com sent me this. Product for supporting the action to end the daylight saving time.
The design of the products is a bit poor but the action was new to me. I never thought about the problems caused by the daylight saving time.
Read all about it here.
Same information in Dutch.
