Enjoy. Spammers. - vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39Obviously no one until this. As a graphic designer, I think it's a brilliant concept.
- toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38They would probably be more effective if they showed what happened to the drivers instead of the vehicles. You see a truck hitting a paper towel dispenser you say "whoa" you see some guy's head split open by a paper towel dispenser you say "HOLY *****!"
- longboarder543, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23This is a more effective campaign:

(I'm sorry, it was such an inviting place to put that.) - iZealot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16http://blogger.xs4all.nl/marcg/archive/2006/09/30/127149.aspx
Original Source (like 5 blogs back) MORE PICS - nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14that's why he says "ironic"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14throw some real blood on the walls around it. bam.
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17MAD Magazine (Kind of ironic, eh?) used to (I don't know if they still do) do stuff like this. You'd crumple or fold part of the page and it would form a completely different or distorted image.
- johnham, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Quite striking. I'm not sure how effective it will be though. To be honest the shock value is muted because it's not a ridiculous wreck or anything. A little blood or dismemberment would make it _really_ shocking, perhaps too much so. I think it's an interesting way to grab attention.
- Phaedruss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Two blogs further gets you to http://blogger.xs4all.nl/marcg/archive/2006/09/30/127149.aspx
So... four blogs later you're at the 'original'. - clickwir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9thanks for linking to the comments and not the actual content. /yourself
- adjustafresh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8This is a great concept. Will it help make people stop drinking and driving? Probably not. Would seeing the corpse of a driver killed after they drove drunk make people stop drinking and driving? Probably not.
Cool poster though. - lampshade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Cool ads
MADD is still out of control most of the time though
“Candy Lightner, MADD’s founder, says she disassociated herself from the movement in 1985 because she believed the organization was headed in the wrong direction. ‘It has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I had ever wanted or envisioned,’ said Mrs. Lightner, who founded MADD after her daughter was killed by a drunk driver. ‘I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving.’”
— The Washington Times, August 2002 - rhizome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7A drunk driving accident? In this part of the country? At this time of day? Localized entirely in your bathroom?
- Zodzilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@alecperkins
Yeah, I know you put a NSFW/Very Graphic warning, but seriously, post that faces of death ***** somewhere else. It's just gross. - nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9sure, but if you take any other picture of a car, and fold it like that, it'll look like a crash.
- mattyxo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9@ ScornForSega
Ya?
Why the ***** didn't you think of it first - Ayavaron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5At my school, they just stick a bashed up car out in front of the school about a month before prom time.
They don't give an explanation about it or anything. They just stick out it out there and take it back after the prom is over.
It's really kind of weird. - darkgarlic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's pretty cool how the glossy paper shines at the crumple lines, and it looks like the paint on the "truck" fell off. Ingenious.
- Kazuo325, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That's nothing. They did this thing at my highschool, where like every so many years they would have a fake ceremony and assembly for a student who had supposedly just been hit by a drunk driver or they were drinking. Something along those lines. They would use real student names and stuff too. I knew the person who "died" when they did it when I was there. There was a smashed up car and everything. If you didn't know about it, that event could have been traumatic for some people.
- Madh2orat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"I think it would be ironic if our guns shot magical ointment that would cure all wounds."
-Sarge - RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5***** blog spam
- azglendale, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Question: How come there is a MADD (Mothers against Drunk Drivers) But you never hear about FADD (fathers against Drunk Drivers)...
Do the fathers not give a Damn?
You think they should recruit the fathers and call it PADD so (Parents) or (People) can be against Drunk Driving.. Just a thought ... - mianos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Once again, we need a drop down box or jump to another page with a 'refactor URL' and a vote box to refactor it back to the original.
- coldfusion055, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ah, but there lies the real irony.
- Arkonnan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The people who would benefit from these posters are most likely too drunk to care. What sickens me the most about drunk drivers are the slim penalties for getting caught doing it. Most of them don't even lose their license because they argue in court that they need a vehicle in order to earn a living and the country(I'm in Canada) cannot deprive them of that right. So they get a fine, maybe a civil lawsuit if they hurt someone.
imo, these ***** need to be tossed in jail. Nothing deters a person from commiting a crime quite like the threat of spending 20 years in an 8x10 cell. It would at least keep them off the damn road. Forget jailing pot smokers. Save the cell space for the drunkards. - LanceUppercut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It is pretty awesome. I would think it would have a greater impact with a mangled GI Joe attached to the towel holder.
- gregdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You shouldn't digg spudnic down. It's actually spelled "pedantic," but he's right about the ironic part.
- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Hate to be pedandic, but that's a coincidence, not irony
- Edrick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4That's just mean to people who didn't know what was going on. O_o
- zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3So the message is dont put up posters when your drunk?
- Eliminator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's a shame that MADD has become a neo-prohibitionist group. And to that I'll have a drink.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3When are we going to stop complaining about drunk drivers and realize that it doesn't matter how much alcohol you have in your blood when your iq is below 30?
- mooninite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sorry, Adblock was blocking the picture on the link from this digg. After whitelisting I can see what you mean... The blog owner needs to fix the picture so it isn't blocked.
Still, its linked twice back to the article in my OP. - braydonf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Cheeky advertising monkey's! Clever ads, but I don't really know if is discourages drunk driving really.
- RandomGuySteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll get the GI-JOES and the pliers. This will be fun.
- WitNit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I knew KR wouldn't digg this...most drunks wouldn't.
- StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you haven't noticed, drunks are more impressionable than their sober selves. Making an emotional (fear?) impact on the person while drunk would be the most effective way to stop drunk driving.
(I'm assuming this poster would go up in a bar restroom. Hopefully.) - andyzdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2umm, that poster is crooked...
- KillJordan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I just want to know where to find the original pictures so i can print them out cause they are cool.
- dpcamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2they should have put it in front of the urinal.. no one washes their hands when they're piss drunk.. its science.
- mianos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually it's almost impossible to miss the real point of the add. That's why it's so good.
- jkoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These terrible "do-gooders" are not trying to save you, they are trying to save other people, the victims of drunk-driving accidents, by persuading people to not drive drunk. I can't see how you could be offended by it unless you were someone who enjoys driving drunk and feel defensive about it.
- ephemere, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Or, "When you have an IQ below 30, you're too dumb to drive."
- JF1288, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i doubt this would be effective at all. everyone who drives drunk knows it can get you into an accident, thats nothing new.
- m00dy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i dont see how the stupid girl is telling the guy untill when your drinking or driving, why is she in the car knowing the person driving it is drunk...not only is she dumb, but her way of nagging is so inefficient.
- Jackal187, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Arkonnan
If you're too drunk to drive, you're probably also too drunk to make the decision if you should be driving or not.
What should be done is something like checking your keys into a bar, then in order to get them back you have to take a DUI test or something… - poordna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1^Because women never drink and drive.
- akzidenzgrotesk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1as a graphic designer, i must say: absolutely brilliant.
