Hopefully they're cutting Chris Ware a royalty check for that illustration style.
My son's name is Conor. That doesn't have much to do with how very much I hate this ad. I'd hate it anyway. Fark them so hard.
Man, I come to your blog, hoping to see something that hasn't been already posted on ads of the world, especially a "couple of months" ago. You used to find great stuff in the past.
This is disgusting to me.
Anon: it was sent to me by a reader; I missed it first time around. Sorry.
The comic is kind of hard to follow. What's up with the panel order? And yeah, tasteless, etc.
Would have been way better off with a made-up story about a popular song. (The guys from Led Zep were on their way to a really amazing party on the 28th floor, but the elevator was broken.) But then, just about anything is better than retelling a tragic story that everybody knows. What's next in the campaign, how Elton John wrote 'Candle in the Wind'?
Eric Clapton already pretty-well whored out the situation for his own benefit anyway. Not sure I see Hard Rock as any worse than him in this case.
I never understood the appeal of this campaign. It was widely regarded as "powerful" on aotw. The story aside, I hate the layout. As the person before me said, it's really hard to follow.
Yeah, copyranter, what the fuck? How dare you comment on stuff that's a couple months old? Seriously, what the hell am I paying you for?
