Art Director Obsesses With Water, Wastes :60 of :90

It must be Amnesty International day. First there was the sex trafficking ad. Now there’s the waterboarding ad.

Waterboarding is a torture method for encouraging prisoners to, well, do what they are asked to do. Apparently America uses this technique and Amnesty International doesn’t like it. The :90 makes the point but takes an interminable :60 to get there. It’s like some art director was like, “Dude, let’s illustrate the beautiful innocence of water and then suddenly cut to the horror of its abuse.” Um, yea. Next time, make it a :30.
