"Most Powerful Advert"

Have you seen that "Test your smoke detectors" advert? It is perhaps the most powerful advert I have ever seen, many kudos to the director.

It goes along the lines of showing an average family and saying "Do you always forget the little things?"

- Valentines present (bloke picking up some old flowers at petrol station)
- An Umberella (Family running home in the rain)
- A bunch more stuff (Happy family scenes, la di da)
- The batteries in your smoke alarm - (man sat outside burn house in car crying)

It's one of those things that just stops you and makes you think. Yeah, so go check your smoke alarm battieries now. I dont want any of you dying on me.

And it is Barnados.
And yes.
Square 1. Hurru for the 1 square.

No....

and arent they and "old peoples" charity?

There's a lot of powerful foreign adverts on Tarrant on TV.

Government messages are always powerful, except for that "seaside" one they show late at night.

By the way, on the advert showing little children breathing smoke out, one of them was playing on a GBA! Just wanted to point that out.

Yer that really is a powerful one.

and the one with the mates coming from the Pizza place.

Thats the one were it looks like his blood but it is actually the pizza right?


There is another one too, the guy wasn't looking were he was going and went into the back of this lady at a pair of traffic lights, he goes over to her window and makes a joke about the whole thing. He then sees her with a shocked expression on her face looking out the front window, he walks towards the front of the car and sees someone lying on the floor.
When he went into the back off her she went forwards and hit someone.

I think the seatbelts ones are pretty powerful too. The one with the son in the back killing his Mum, and the one with the mates coming from the Pizza place.

Did you also see those Oxfam ones in the papers?

They show a dead baby with a cockroach crawling out of its mouth, its really vile stuff. I think they banned them though.

Sounds like a powerful advert.
Another powerful one is the "Stop smoking" one, were there is a little babu breathing out lots of smoke, showing how it can damage the babys health.
