Good of them to support starving advertising festival directors too.

The Amnesty stuff is similar to work in Lurzer's Archive from 1999. Fucken disgusting it's won anything really. It won at Axis iin NZ too. And if judges aren't clued up, it'll probably clean up at Cannes. Someone needs to make an example of the creatives involved.
Once you've seen the Amnesty work in question, check out where it was copied from below. It's the one with the noose.

Why make a big deal about it you ask? Because this work is not only a copy, its main purpose appears to be winning awards.
Will it help the political prisoners of the world when the only time it was shown to the public was on billboards in poor neighbourhoods around Auckland? Who was going to give money to Amnesty? Hmmm. Nobody.
Shame on you.
