it accomplishes what it was created for - to put the viewer in the shoes of nations that have to deal with this problem. It's shocking, but that's what will get people's attention and leave a lasting impression..

Shocking, but certainly gets the point across.
The type of thing that advertising will never do in the US.

that kind of ad will never pass the CRTC in Canada
*CRTC are the people who decide if an ad is OK to air on tv

the most messed up thing abou thte landmines is that most of the ppl who get hurt or killed are kids

they have pre-active ad censoring in canada?

yea we have CTVA down here.. but i think they changed their name to free tv or something... not sure if its "pre-active ad censoring"
- nRIK0
and i agree, that ad is quite shocking

curious though how it works in north america. in holland it's passive. basically someone has to complain first. then they take a look at it if the complaint is just, contact the company who's ad it is and they either redo it or they file a suit. etc.

yes i think its the same here, but i am not sure if they screen it beforehand as well

it could have done with a laugh track...
pretty hard hitting advert. gives you that '...fuck that, what can i do about it...' feeling.
