An enormous 252-foot billboard from Modernista! Boston, USA overlooking the Massachusetts Turnpike outside Fenway Park, shows a fake neon advertisement for American gun shows where people can buy weapons, no questions asked. Except, of course, in Massachusetts which already has some of the strictest arms sales regulations in the country - but don't tell that to Modernista!. Read more at Boston.com.

(and here you can see a slideshow of the other giant gun-themed posters have been on this site. I like "bullets leave holes".)

From Ogilvy & Mather Singapore comes this poster for The Economist. Look closer. Yep. Teeny little Monopoly hotels. Squeee! So brilliant.

In a campaign for women's rights, the Internationale Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte (IGFM) who won a Bronze Epica for "Burka" earlier this year, now show a woman in a burka next to garbage bins for a slightly shocking visual, as she blends in so well. Women are easily disposed of? Shudder. The oppression of women is too easily overlooked reads the line, and indeed if you son't spot her at once you feel that you overlooked it. Way to make the viewer feel guilty, JvM!

T: You always talk about the importance of copy.When you are flicking through a magazine, for example, you see a lot of images, and you keep flicking. Should a good ad be like a good book that you don't want to stop reading?

Creatives, this is your assignment - play with your food. Why? Because high speed photography looks teh ossom. Just ask Alka-Seltzer. You have learned that lesson well, Ogilvy Johannesburg.

Why yes, that is Poltergeist actress Zelda Rubinstein in the role as a caring mother, reminding her gay son to bring his rubbers. This campaign ran all over Los Angeles at first, then went national, and all that way back in 1984.

"We must not let Russia’s charm hide its atrocities."

In 2010, while the French government celebrates Russia across the country, the human
rights question is kept silent. Censorship, racism, murders, forced disappearances…
all still occur frequently in Russia.

Duval Guilaume Brussels created posters and press ads illustrated by AD Fred Van Hoof for the USDA Women Self Defense. See them inside.

Speed around schools has always been a huge issue in the Rodney district. So to get people to slow down Colenso BBDO, Auckland created a poignant campaign that would get people thinking about how it would feel to kill a child. To launch the campaign they plastered the whole district with images of a haunting little girl. For two weeks people saw the mysterious girl on walls, poles, around schools, shopping malls, parks, road sides, etc. Then during week three of the campaign we placed a sticker over the girl revealing the line, "The kids you kill never leave you".
