I was shocked to see this billboard - one, it's such a simple image yet so powerful, and two, the fact is shocking.

Thoughts?

this isn't the first time you have said something is racist when it clearly isn't.

do you honestly think unicef are a racist organisation...? I don't think so.

I don't know if you realised, but one of the areas in the world where there is little/ no water is Africa, and the majority of people there are black.

he has a gun yes it maybe a water gun but wouldnt a water bottle be better?

:S

what do you think a gun would represent in a poster about children dying from bad water?

because that way it wouldn't be as powerful and effective.

[Heart Break Kid]

because it wouldn't be as effective and make much of an impact.

[Roboevil]

Why is it shocking? People have been dying from bad water for ages.

I like the idea of a water pistol though.

well that should have answered your question.

what i am saying is
they are assuming taht everyone in Africa is black
why not have a black and a white person there

well everyone in Africa is black with the exception of countries like Namibia and South Africa...

they are not exactly going to put a black and white person there just for the sake of avoiding stupid comments from people like you.

[Heart Break Kid]

lol people like me....
dude u seriously dont understand do you...
pointing a gun at his head...
makes it appear as if he is a suicide person
and with the wars going on thats not a good idea

because it's not racist in the slightest.
the majority of people in africa are black.
if it was a white person you could say it's being racist because it's a white person? because that's basicly what you're saying... :rolleyes:

Also *** @ the water bottle? Silliest idea i've ever heard. There is a water gun there to make it stand out and its is about WATER and WAR so they thought a WATER GUN would be a good idea, which actually is a good idea.

I think it would be racist if they used a white person for the african poster, as assuming africa is the black mans country, and white shouldn't actually be there anyway.

Also the meaning of the actual compaign poster, is simply saying the bad water is more dangerous then the actual war and it isn't needed!


******* awsome compaign, the billboard poster works a wonder and its really affective!

[Wayne]

That's not racist. I like how the water gun depicts death, it's quite an impactive advert.
