This is an skin cream ad that was banned in the United Kingdom because it was offensive, shocking and likely to cause distress. This is the first time I saw this ad and I am shocked and i can completely understand why it is banned. It is advertising Funeral Home skin cream.This media pieces message is that Beauty is something to die for, and if you don't have this skin cream you will die or look like the woman in this photograph. I find it crazy that people can think of a concept like this and expect it to run in magazine it is extremely offensive and in my opinion less people would buy the cream. On the other hand it is extremely smart becuase this company most likely got a lot of publicity because of this ad and because it is so offensive.
