These bad taste adverts were created for the Chip Shop Awards 2010. They are a parody of the original print adverts for Windows 7 operating system.
For those who can not recognise the faces they are (in order):
Michael Jackson - hanging baby Blanket out of his hotel window
Joseph Fritzl - The man who kept his daughter and his and her kids in a cell under his house (yuk!)
Kate McCann - mother of Madeline McCann
Harvey Price- son of Katie Price who has special needs
Due to limitations set by Chip Shop only one advert could be submitted. The Kate McCann advert was chosen to be submitted but sadly was not nominated for the awards. I think the adverts are more effective as a campaign rather than individually.
The Chip Shop Awards are my favourite of the advertising awards as they promote bad taste, simple ideas and open briefs that allow for creativity and originality as well as plagiarism and anything else that is usually frowned upon!
Check out the website for this years winners, they are a great laugh!
P.S For some reason the type face has gone a little crazy on 2 of the adverts and The 'P' seems to be partially invisible! I think this is due to converting the files from PSD to JPEG but unsure how to fix it!
P.P.S These adverts were created for the awards only and do not represent my personal opinions and are not designed to offend either the people shown or anyone viewing them :)
