Sprite’s new campaign called “Brutal Honest Truths” should probably have your ex worried. The [global campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-twist-on-soda) uses [virtual voodoo dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratch-reveal) for the simple use of sweet revenge.

Papervision 3D and motion tracking were used to create this application that allows people to upload a picture of their ex and perform brutal acts. Not only is revenge fulfilled, but users also end up creating their own [voodoo movie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellphone-bill).

Do you think this campaign is harmless or evil?
