I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream…
For child abuse! Edvard Munch is kicking and screaming in his grave over yet another misappropriation of his self-portrait by lazy ad hacks. Much like da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, The Scream has been fucked with and fucked with and fucked with by frustrated art directors who’d rather be painting their own shitty tortured self-portraits then lowering themselves to do ads. This time, the advertiser is the Child Health Foundation in Munich—so at least, a good cause. The ad probably won’t do a thing to help curb child abuse in Germany, but maybe the model child will take up painting, become rich and famous, and donate money to the Foundation. |Image: AdsOfTheWorld|

Editor-in-Chief:
Maybe it won't do much when it comes to child abuse, but anything helps when it comes to raising awareness on the subject. It's a very powerful image and hopefully it will make some people think about child abuse and its implications on a child's life.
I'm sorry, what was that? I was distracted by the banner ad featuring the 15 year old half-nude Asian girl
Stop and think, what sort of response will this ad get out of pedophiles? It's a picture of a naked girl-child, need I say more?
