Red Cross fools media with its toilet humour
A low-rent looking billboard ad that went up in a heavy traffic area in Sydney this week had Dr Mumbo scratching his head.
In what passersby were led to believe was a personal message from an irate wife to her husband, it features the picture of a toilet, with the seat up.
Sexist.
What about “To my darling LaFonda, For the love of humanity put the toilet seat up!!! My back hurts from being chivalrous.”
Equality starts in the bathroom people!
Nice work JWC. And Mr B-rad at Red Cross.
@Andrew while it might be slightly sexist, it is possible to overlook this due to the fact that it is a fantastic ad, it puts a bit of humour into the average persons day and most importantly it draws attention to a very good cause.
Funny stuff ! Certainly had the media fooled.
How dare they deceive me. I thought Greg was a real person – but he’s not. This is wrong.
Nice work.
A pinnacle example thus far of the way that traditional media and social works together so well.
It has been a dream run for the campaign and I am going to join up, my pledge will be to do no social networking for a week. No reading, no posting (UUUUGHHHH)
So, you better become my friend and then sponsor me on what will surely be a feat of endurance and strength
So, yes, the campaign has worked a treat on me and I suspect it will do on a lot of other people

There’s a video to go alongside this campaign – a man is dared by his girlfriend to get a full-body wax in Sydney’s Circular Quay.
