It works as an advertisement in a vacuum, because it certainly makes the viewer take notice, which is the point.

However, I think that the psychological wounds still associated with 9/11, especially in today's PC world, make this a very poorly-thought out ad. It will make a lot of people angry and they will have to pull it.

You've posted it. We're reading about it. It seems to work.

I don't know, those Orangina furry ads were pretty awful.

I would love to have sat in on the meeting with the adMen pitching this to their clients and their clients convincing themselves it was a great idea.

It's very good in that it grabs my attention and very very bad in that it makes me strongly dislike the WWF.

Guys, relax. It's fake. Everything they do in the WWF is fake. They admitted it a long time ago.

Right. It makes me want to punch a panda in the face.

Who ever green lit that ad should be fired, rehired, raped and fired again.

Yeah, we all know that reading the ad will "help" the environment. It doesn't convince anyone to contribute to their cause.... which it suppose to do.

I guess shocking people instead of persuading them is the latest trend at WWF.
