Why I love words
Some fantastic Public Service advertising by Contract Advertising.
Indra Sinha, a great copywriter said, “The written word is the deepest dagger you can drive into a man’s soul”
These two ads then, must have hurt like hell.

Yes, these certainly cut deep. Excellent work and comes from the heart. I know how hard it is to get people to open their eyes and actually look. I have been writing ads about the injustice in Bhopal for a decade and swear I still haven’t found a way to crack the carapace of public indifference. Bravo, whoever wrote these.
If anyone wants to get in touch by the way, I have started a page on Ryze in the hopes of meeting like minded people.
