Another nasty piece of work from Clemenger bbdo, all about the of the viewer and the defense of their personal independence and selfishness at any cost, and nothing else. Danny, Robbie, Ant and Jimmy; the kind of people who think of children as nasty little nuisances like these are the same kind of people who'll get an abortion rather than raise a baby they've conceived (perhaps because their Legends condom failed, as they sometimes do). I'm sure your client would not have wanted you to say 'abortion' in an ad, though. "Use a Legend, or else you'll have to choose between having an abortion, and actually raising one of these and kissing your fun-loving, youthful independence goodbye forever," probably wouldn't have gone down so well, even though that is exactly the message of your ad as it is. Really nasty, ugly stuff here. Can I give this no stars?
