Aim at Foot, Fire

2006-10-11 14:47:00.070168+02 by petronius 1 comments

It's fascinating when organizations come up with a clever promotion that turns into a disaster. One such case was PETA's ad showing Rudy Giuliani with a milk moustach and the slogan "Got Prostate Cancer?". The latest entry in this list is the London-based Committee Against Living Miserablyan anti-suicide group. They compare the 4 7/7 Underground suicide jihadis with the 900-odd other suicides in Britain that year. Not even the Guardian is amused. UPDATE: Yes, the original CALM link disappeared. The BBC link above will show the poster.

Looks like that first link got removed... Although I think I understand why.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
