Anak-anak lebih berhak

houtlust — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 23:11:00 GMT

Very strange ads from the Indonesian organisation Yayasan Sayap Ibu.
Yayasan Sayap Ibu mediate adoption of children I think but I'm not sure.
In these ads they asked to stop abortion because there is always a solution and opportunities for children in this world.
I'm absoluty not pro-life but also not pro abortion in many cases. I don't know what to say about these ads, I really don't know.

Copy, with a terrible translation from babelfish.
(can anybody do the right translation?)

Anak-anak lebih berhak!
Who menyebutkan lebih dari 2, 3 juta bayi teraborsi tiap tahunnya.
Beri kesempatan agar mereka menikmati cerianya hidup.
Hindari Aborsi, karena masih ada solusi.

Children more entitled!
Who mentioned more than 2, 3 million babies were aborted each year.
Give the opportunity so that they enjoyed a cheerful life.
Avoid the Abortion, because there is still a solution.

Innocence in danger

houtlust — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 23:07:00 GMT

Pedophiles are smarter then children.
This campaign demonstrates the unfair advantage pedophiles have when attempting to solicit children. They use every possible way to manipulate their innocent victims. Children are often unable to see the danger until it's too late.
Campaign is from Innocence in danger, they informs and alerts children, families, teachers, educators and schools on the various snares that paedocriminals set on the Internet to achieve their pernicious aims.

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.

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.
