Creepy Ad of the Week: Dead-eyed Martin Luther King.

(click ad) In-store poster for South African bookstore chain bookdealers. There's also an Ali execution in the biography campaign. Creative note: the digital eye replacement surgery idea was already done in 2007 for a Cannes Lion-winning National Geographic Channel campaign. There are no new ideas, ad infinitum. Ad agency: Ogilvy, Johannesburg. Here's a previous MLK exploitation ad, also via South Africa, for Volkswagen.
