China is not as you imagine
August 8th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Hey rain, thanks for your comment. I’m sure China is not totally like this ad. First of all these ads try to exaggerate. But China also has many problems concerning human rights and rich and poor. Sure there are successful stories of modernized and open China, but there are also many problems out there. Unfortunately. I don’t want to talk about politics now and I do understand that nobody likes an ad like this about his own country, but even though it might be exaggerate, you shouldn’t close your eyes before these problems.
August 8th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
China executes over 10,000 people a year, Thats the highest number of criminals killeded in a single country per year. Thats what the ad is about. Not day to day life
August 8th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
This is where you can see a successful ad, people talk about and see what the message is about. Like Cory says, I’m sure they don’t invent those numbers. You cannot deny this problem in China.
August 9th, 2008 at 10:43 am
I know that many Chinese there are indeed problems, including our friends on the Internet so that, very often we feel very helpless. As you said, we do not discuss political issues, everyone has everyone’s faith……
(Sorry, because my English is so poor, so I only use google translation to expression mind , please understand)
August 9th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Thanks for making this list, there’s some brilliant stuff in there. I wonder what agencies are behind some of these ads…
August 9th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Hey Failsafe, thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately I don’t know them, since I collected them from friends, emails, internet and there were mostly no information who did it.
@rain, don’t worry your English is good. As you said, everybody has it’s own opinion and faith.
August 10th, 2008 at 4:28 am
great selection of ads, it’s great to see creativity put to work for a good cause
August 10th, 2008 at 5:33 am
@Gianni, yeah, imagine they would be boring and plain. Nobody would notice them and it wouldn’t get the attention they need.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Man, some of those are just awful to look at, it is so sad to see all of the problems in our world!
I am going to give you a well deserved stumble on this It must have taken a long time to write this post!
August 12th, 2008 at 4:22 am
Thank you Chelle appreciate that. Indeed it is sad to see all the problems in the world and I hope those kind of ads can help a little bit.
August 12th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Your blog is really effective to show the problem of the world and open our eyes. It is interesting.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Thank you Samuel, glad it works for some people.
August 14th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Very good post…
August 15th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Thanks for this selection of ads, very impressive !
August 16th, 2008 at 1:58 am
Farther is what relates to distance, not further.

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.
August 19th, 2008 at 4:15 am
Thank you Vem, I´m happy you liked it.

I was impressed especially with the non-smoking ads. The toothbrush-toothpaste one is nausiating – and effective! Hope it changes people’s minds about smoking.
August 24th, 2008 at 3:37 am
Those smoking ads are scary, and I imagine, pretty effective! The amnesty international ads are downright scary and thought-provoking.
August 24th, 2008 at 4:54 am
@Shlomo, I hope so too.
@Aibal, I guess then they hit the intention to be scary and provoking.
August 28th, 2008 at 5:34 am
very interesting and pleasing ad. The hungry ad is quiet loyal and can motivate the new helping hands in this world. These ads can break the rocky hearts and let us to know where we are.
August 31st, 2008 at 6:16 am
Hey Francisca, exactly, I hope it reaches some rocky hearts.

good pics
bad world
March 26th, 2009 at 6:58 am
@bot_idiot, unfortunately very true.
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:52 am
Why is that we are so worried about other countries, when we are in a really bad state ourselves? it is not even worth worrying about a country that is communist because no matter what we do or say we will never be able to change their minds not only because we are politically powerless but because the people themselves are not willing to change.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Thank you!!!!
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
@Doesn’t Matter, unfortunately it’s true, that we are politically powerless and SOME people are not willing to change, others are just powerless to do it.
@blah, welcome.
December 5th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I came across this site while I was searching mirror. I think it is so impressive. These ads are so effective,too and I wonder who or which organization prepared them. If you inform me, I’ll be glad to you. By the way, whether they are prepared by anyone, the main messages reach the targeted people via these striking ads. Thanks for sharing.
December 6th, 2009 at 7:07 am
Sorry Irem, but those are from different sources and organizations, I can’t tell you who did them.
December 18th, 2009 at 3:19 am
@CoryMathews:
Care to post a reliable link that says China kills 10,000 criminals a year? You simply stating that has no credibility whatsoever.
December 18th, 2009 at 6:05 am
I liked all ads especially social ads which are very true.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:37 pm
Great series. My “favorite”? The Unicef one: “Every Child needs a Family”. That stopped me short. The kid really looks upset.
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:45 am
Great collection of amazing ads. I liked most about help yourself and no smoking….
December 4th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
These ads are very creative! I like them.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:51 am
Hey Jethro, glad you liked them.
March 7th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
realy its a very effective and a\direct conveying ads.
November 13th, 2015 at 12:14 am
The people of China are pathetic because they have neither the motivation nor the power to change. My people of the United States are even more pathetic because the have the power but no motivation to change. Only about twenty percent of voters did so in the last presidential election.
