Hygienic Shockvertizing II

Wash your Hands

This is an ad for an instant hand sanitizer from advertising agency EURO RSCG in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is not as nastily graphic as the one TrendHunter published a few days ago but it drives the message home.

I like the way this ad cleverly shows some of the junk our hands come in contact with throughout a typical day such as door handles, all kinds of food, toilet paper, shoes, pets, other people's hands, dirt, bugs, etc, etc, etc.

Very well made poster. Very clever.
