You guys are all amazingly silly.

The point of the ad is that you shouldn't miss the NEWS! Because big things happen. Imagine haw much can happen in 3 months?

I see nothing wrong with the ad. I think it points out the scale of the WTC attacks. Even in Spain it is a point of reference for huge changes in the world.

Wake up and smell the logic.

Regardless of the Logic..that was not missed by me...why didn't they show pics of their train stations instead? Should be an even bigger reference to them..but to them it is a thing of sorrow..just like WTC is to us. I find it offensive to use the  WTC for any kind of gain...And The political ads have really preturbed me. It's just wrong.

US politicians have been using images like that (and worse) in advertising.



Really?  Prove it.  Example please.

I agree it's in bad taste. They'd never dare to do that with Madrid bombings.

Then again, we (worldwide) are so used to bad taste in the press/commercials that this one isn't particularly over the top.

I don't have the actual ad examples, but heres proof:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/03/07/bush.ads/

Tried searching for Kerry, but didn't come up with much except for a splurge from Newsmax - and that didn't seem to have any mention of an ad, just typical newsmax drivel.

That's the same or worse Gscholz? are you serious?

Did you see the Bush commercial?  I either have to assume you didn't see it or that you are just kidding here.

The Bush commercial does not approach the poor taste of the subject at hand.  and it wasn't just the images being referred to as poor taste, it was the slogan as well.



Hope you are having a nice day.

The slogan? It's just "Lots of things can happen in one day, Imagine all that can happen in three months" (they are giving away 3 months of subscription for free).

Sorry but while the topic/image chosen is still a sensitive one, can't find anything wrong with the slogan.
