Silly Tuesday Advert

Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 7 April 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual.

I've heard some people say that there is no hope for future generations, but this is simply ridiculous!

All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.

This is just brilliant. Is it an advert for something? Or is being serious!

@MrsAmber: Hi Mrs A - it's actually part of a huge advert for Johnny Walker whisky. The ad carries on around the side of the building (I think the next bit reads "reality"), and maybe it goes on around the back as well. I don't get the message they are trying to convey, however.

I think it is too true to be silly but it is a cool shot.

Interesting and rather depressing message. Great find though. I don't know if it was meant to be silly...some of today's kids might not think so. I guess it depends on what is being advertised.

Lovely shot Rob. Perhaps they are trying to say that the distance between hope and reality is only as short as the distance it takes to cross from one to the other?? But i agree with you - without hope we have not much of anything....there is hope for future generations as long as they look in the right palces! :)

A great silly shot Rob, I'd sooner live in regret, than have to pay for hope.

I agree so ridiculous, but then again if they sell Hope by the bottle can you pick me up a 6 pack

Silly? Or maybe sad? Can hope be bought and sold? If it can, shouldn't it go to our youngest? Sorry. Got all philosophical there for amoment. I'm over it now. Love the photo - thought-provoking and a little silly.
