Norwegian Censorship
For some reason I wanted to post a photo of my bloody shirt the other day. And I wanted to compare it to one of the controversial advertisements by UCoB in the early 90's. But then again it was no point.
While looking for this particular photo, I also came across the other photos from the same campaign. And some of them are excellent! Remember it all ended in a Norwegian ban of these ads. Probably for a reason. So if you are easily offended, stop here.

Absolutely wonderful photographs. Truly shocking, beautiful, and provocative. It was a genius marketing campaign in some ways.
But it clearly oversteps the mark. You can't use this kind of material to sell jumpers. It's never going to be ok.

I agree with owl. The photographs are incredible, but to use other people's tragedy to sell t-shirts and jumpers is going too far. And I believe it was worldwide banned, wasn't it?
Hey!
Anyone know if they got fined after the ban? If not, you can say the campaign was very successful even though there was a ban.
Agree, Photos=excellent, For selling trousers and jackets=Not good.

Hehe, I still have it, but I don't dare put it on here. :-) Not bloody enough.
Come on Spirit! You want to see too right? :-D
