Lovely stuff by Dpz São Paulo that forces people to face the issue of underprivileged children. Cognitive dissonance… now there‘s a selling strategy!

Amnesty International continues their quest to save those more unfortunate than ourselves, one excellent ad at a time. The television commercial gets bonus points for using Korobeiniki in the soundtrack – otherwise known to us non-Russians as “the Tetris song”.

Mega-collage-photoshop craziness for the WWF. Copy: If the ice/the trees fall, we all fall. Let’s hope the polar bear and elephant don’t slip up either.

Dutch Playmate and fetish model Ancilla Tilla titillates with a rousing strip tease before… well, I won’t give it away, but it isn’t pretty. From Revolver Media, Rotterdam for Wakker Dier, a Dutch non-profit organization for animal protection. As engaging as it is, advertising that compares humans to animals (of which PETA is famous for) is not only ridiculous, but a large reason why people have such negative opinions of animal welfare organizations. I understand they need to gather attention to their cause, but creating messages that shock are weak in concept and inevitably leave a bitter taste behind.

Normally, PETA makes absurd comparisons between animals and humans. This one works because it’s somewhat shocking, funny, and executed well.
