At an awards ceremony in the Mansion House [Dublin] last night, the best newspaper ad of 2012 went to Owens DDB for this ad on behalf of Volkswagen Ireland. The winner was selected by judges Matt Fitch and Mark Lewis of BBH London – who created the ’3 little pigs’ ad for the Guardian.

Google Advanced Search

7:28 am November 2, 2012 Chompsky

French tax officials investigating links between Google’s French arm and its European head office in Dublin seized files during police raids at four Paris addresses linked to the company.

Google, which declares its European profits in Ireland, insists that all its advertising in the region is handled by staff based in Dublin and that Google France’s work is limited to “marketing assistance and service support”.

The arrangement means that while Google generated between €1.25 and €1.4 billion in revenue in France last year, according to estimates, it paid just over €5 million in corporate tax to the French exchequer.

Awkward.

Lodge your complaint against the ad company facilitating Youth Defence’s damaging, misleading campaign. Info here: tl.gd/hu367f

— Siren Magazine (@Siren_Magazine) June 20, 2012

By telling women that there is “always” (emphasised) a better option, and that abortion “tears” a woman’s life apart, this advertisement encourages and condones “dangerous behaviour or unsafe practices” as it discourages women from having an abortion in ANY circumstances, even when their lives are medically threatened as a result of the pregnancy.
