We have been featuring quite a few ads from around the world with strong, often controversial content on TrendHunter.com and the reactions have ranged from shocked to disturbed, with many readers not caring to be exposed to the material. I believe there are some things that need to be continually exposed, as disturbing as they may be, and domestic violence is one of those things.

This tagline on this Spanish poster translates to, “Love that Kills: The Cowards’ Show”

Here is another anti-domestic violence ad:

I think most people tolerate shock or nudity as long as its a joke or jest, once the issue is serious they get uncomfortable
