That's really clever and nicely executed. The controversy itself should make it more effective in getting people to question things they do without much personal conscious thought.

I agree. I also really like the voting one. |

They're all quite good. I followed the links to a few places to see if I could read a bit more about the campaign itself.
I found a few discussions referring to these two:
It's called "Nazi" but that wasn't the first impression I got. For me, it could just have easily been about violent, rabid sports fans.
Also, some people assumed that this one:
Was the beginnings of a swastika, while others thought is was an "F". To me, that aspect doesn't really matter, although it seems unlikely that a campaign of 6 posters would include 2 specifically aimed at the same target. |

I would have agreed except for the voting ad. It seems absurd to think they are saying don't vote because voting is not thinking for yourself. Rather, I think they are pointing out that many people do vote going with a social flow rather than actually researching and weighing the issues/candidates in their own mind. I suspect this whole campaign is largely meant to provoke thought, not tell people what they shouldn't do. |
