Hi all, I'm looking to track down a set of advertisements addressing the dangers of identity theft. The ads I'm thinking about featured a set of dramatic bodily switches. The bodies were supposed to be profoundly mismatched to the copy. I believe one had the body of a grandmother claiming to have bought some new technological device. The overall message was "beware identity theft." I'd appreciate any leads. Thanks so much.

Hi all,
I'm looking to track down a set of advertisements addressing the dangers of identity theft. The ads I'm thinking about featured a set of dramatic bodily switches.
The bodies were supposed to be profoundly mismatched to the copy. I believe one had the body of a grandmother claiming to have bought some new technological device. The overall message was "beware identity theft."
I'd appreciate any leads. Thanks so much. Shoshana

I found this a little disturbing - I'm a grandmother and I *love* new technological devices. :) But watching the ad made it clearer. I'm certainly not into mudflaps with nekkid ladies on them. Wouldn't suit the toyota wagon at all. M-H On 25/11/2006, at 4:59 AM, Shoshana Magnet wrote:

Hi, Sorry, I should have clarified. Not that grandmothers don't love technological devices - just that the ads were trying to market pairs of what they construct as binary opposites. My great aunt has an ipod - so I know what you mean :) Thanks to all for your helpful responses. I'm still searching the old print ads, so far no luck!
