Upskirt - by storm edge design from Fitzroy Amsterdam

To quote Adfreak "The Grim Reaper gets his comeuppance in this jarringly well-done Hyundai Veloster spot, which many are saying was "banned" by Dutch TV. However, an agency-provided summary on Ads of the World says the spot was spiked by Hyundai itself for being "too shocking for our brand." The car has two passenger-side doors but just one on the driver's side, a quirky feature that serves as the setup for a punch line that really slams home the safety message. Note the especially effective editing in the commercial's first vignette as the woman in the backseat of the Ford Focus and Death both reach for the door handles at the same time. Things play out a bit differently when the moment is replayed in a three-door Veloster. The real villain isn't Death, though. It's the doofus driver who seems more than willing to let the gal get out on a dark, lonely road late at night. Is chivalry dead, too?"

A father filmed his daughter every week, from birth until she turned 12 years old in this time lapse.

Julie remercie 1 Belge sur 2
According to reasearch by http://www.newspaperswork.be it appeared that 4.6 million Belgians read the newspaper every day. That is one of two Belgian (ICD 12 +). How long does it take to thank all these people? With an ad in the newspaper one day only. But Julie, a student in Brussels, thought she could do it too... With a personal Hand Shake...

Top quote The Bottomline...
"Cheap-chic clothing brand Hennes & Mauritz AB was reprimanded by the Swedish regulatory body for the advertising industry following a furor that erupted over bikini ads featuring a very tan model, although it dismissed complaints that the ads were sexually suggestive and that the model was overly thin."

Some think it's been made by Republican supporters, while others think it's the other way round...

Note: We do not in anyway support, condone or concur with any of the concepts portrayed in the Ads portrayed below!!!
We too find them controversially shocking and offensive!!!

Shockvertising, as described by wikipedia is advertising that is deliberately shocking. Which can, at times, be lewd, vulgar and offensive.

They are deliberately made that way to attract attention...

Question is... How far can one go???

Recently there's been this series of Extremely Offensive Tee Shirt Designs Posted as Ads on Ads Of The World which (if one reads the comments on the original posts) even atheists consider offensive.

Eshe Streetwear:Religion is garbage

Advertising Agency: Muckmouth, Auckland, New Zealand
Creatives: Nobjockey, Tatsie, Strange G, Dabset

Illustrator: Kennedy Poynter

Question is... At such times, is the brand (as a business entity) happy with cultivating a small niche at the risk of alienating everyone else???

To quote ivan's post of these Ads on Ads Of The World

I realize that this is a highly controversial campaign and I want to make sure it is clear to everybody that the fact that we publish any campaign it doesn't mean we support it too. We're just publishing it for the world to see and comment on. Apologies to anyone offended.

Here you can see images of the posters in situ and also branded skateboards and t-shirts.
