will it ever be appropriate?



The headline reads "For Nature, Everyday is 9/11." Even though this ad is incredibly effective and on point, I still get that weird feeling in my stomach when I see the image.

The question is, when would it be appropriate to incorporate 9/11 into advertising? Would it ever? If the ad featured Pearl Harbor, I wouldn't feel queezy. (But it wouldn't be as effective.) So, if time heals all wounds, when would be appropriate? Thanks Casey!

You wouldn't feel queezy over Pearl Harbor because it probably doesn't hold a place in your life like 9/11 does. You lived through this, not Pearl Harbor (at least I don't think you lived through Pearl Harbor). That's the difference.

I'm not sure how I feel about it either. It is a good ad, but makes me feel weird. Maybe that's what it's supposed to do.
