sometimes shock value has its uses

While exploring a web site called ads of the world ( a great place to look for inspiration and see what they do in other countries) I came across these ads, and yes I think they are shocking, and I don't believe you would ever see them in a Canadian publication. so here they are with the headlines translated underneath.




"Put yourself in a mink's place.Don't buy animal skins!Animals suffer like we do."






"Put yourself in a pig's place.Stop anaesthetic-free piglet castration with us!Animals suffer like we do."

So what do you think? are you shocked? desensitised? disgusted? Could you ever see these in a Canadian publication? Are you in advertising and wish creatively you could create ads like these? Its an interesting world out there isn't it.......
