Something about this City Mall ad "bugs" me


Just because they do not sell Anne Geddes toys does not allow City Mall to rip her off so blatantly! It is supposed to be an ad for their Mother's day.... Well, they might come with the line of defence that they have only been "inspired" by it (hello Impact/BBDO) but I still think it is theft.

You wanna talk about someone stealing Anne Geddes work! check www.toocutetoshoot.com !!
i wish i can shoot her!!!
Someone should release a book about inspiration and stealing! what's the difference between the two! bcs some agencies don't know the difference.

Maya, I understand, I seriously do but apart from pointing the thiefs, what can we do? Clients are ignorant or unethical, agencies are stuffy AND unethical... And the public does not know any better!
