Okay... strange negativity going on around here.

Why not try turning this into a discussion? Other than the irony in those two ads being placed together, we could discuss about the ads themselves - one does have a tendency to contradict the other, but seeing them both together, which do you think sends the stronger message, and why?  smile

The top one is stronger, because of the obesity cause below it.

But the bottom one is more noticeable, because it contradicts the dark colors on the top one.

I though so, too. The obesity one is so sad, serious, and despondent, while the McDonald's one is so bright and happy. I think more people prefer to see happy ads than sad ones.

I like seeing sad ones, they actually make sense.

Except I like laughing at fast food billboards, and Joe Mauer's are pretty awesome.
