Perhaps you've seen or heard the uproar associated with the latest global ad show controversy, this one involving the World Wildlife Fund and their Brazilian agency, DDB. In the print ad as well as the video (below), New York City is invaded by multiple airplanes in 9/11 fashion.
To be sure, the images remind all of us of that tragic day over eight years ago:
The outrage was, of course, predictable, with condemnations flying from the ad community as a whole, and DDB Brazil (reluctantly) apologizing for the ad. The reality is the ads are factually correct, and are another chilling reminder that perhaps there are more pressing issues in the world than who's going to be voted off American Idol. Then again, maybe not.
So, I ask you the question: are the terrorist attacks on America permanently off limits?
