I think WWF was wrong in using numbers to argue that the tsumani/our planet is destructive and therefore needs more respect. No matter how many people died in each occasion, I think it's a terrible argument. They are equally unfortunate events that may have been preventable but happened.<br /><br />Just a note: WWF Brazil apologized for this ad and let go of the creative team behind the ad, but it still won an award and is in the Cannes film festival. It was not intended to be released so near the date 9/11.<br />(http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2009/09/911-was-nothing-according-to-new-wwf-ad.html)caroline yihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737727537110164054noreply@blogger.com
