I told my boss, who let me freelance for them then I told them btw, my boss knows I freelanced for TBWA. You'd be insane to compare TBWA\Chiat\Day to the whole TBWA\RAAD combo lol.

At any rate the one with the brain in it was a photoshopped 3d reformat of a spiral CT brain with a CGI brain overlay (the windowing levels (=numbers) on the right corner of the picture gave it away) I think that the blog where this was originally posted (ads2blog) did (later) mention that these ads were drawn up but never released.

The ad doesn't show you a car accident in which the guy is lying on the ground screaming in pain with glass shards in his eye and he is calling out for help. The Zain ad is a romance, it leaves the viewer on a positive note. 2) So what you are saying is that in this ad FT are talking about an Internet problem which doesn't exist and no Internet user has ever experienced and then they tell everyone guess what? With FT you will never have to worry about this problem that doesn't exist! Thats not "exaggerated graphic" that's just misleading. 3) Yup make sense now since FT aren't ignorant to go with an ad like this that can lose them customers and give people a negative image about their brand which they've worked so hard to build. I am sure the agency where the art director works at will probably get a warning from FT for causing them problems, misleading the consumers and damaging their brand. 4) Read number 3 AceJ, in reply to your comment:
