what in the hell are you advertising?


I am aware I may not be the best with words and images but I have to ask these people: What were you thinking? I have stared at this ad for a cumulative time of 30 minutes and I still can't figure out what they are advertising. A car crash? The top picture would suggest this kind of scenario. Cigarettes kill? The bottom left picture would suggest so. Or a portable sandbox? You be the judge...

Maybe it's advertising Dadaist imagery.

I loved Dave's comment. It makes a perfectly good explanation. The first thing I got was confusion, then I tried to take the time needed to understand it. The tag line says "How will you deal with it?" I'm still wondering what i'm dealing with. (sigh) I'm sure we could all go on and on about how poor the image choices are. Perhaps if the headline connected the pictures somehow but the images can't be the focal point because they don't connect to give a message.
