Dimitri Daniloff's Disturbing and Racy Shockvertising Concepts

Artist Dimitri Daniloff is a veritable photoshop wiz in the commercial advertising business; his carefully orchestrated visuals bring creepy and shocking advertising concepts to life. The first two eerie and racy images below where two women are having sex with two ginormous bugs, were designed to promote protection against the HIV virus. Other shocking visuals include two individuals tongue-kissing animals to "literally illustrate the effects that smoking can have on your breath."

Banned! 18 Shocking Ads that Crossed the Line

These are "banned" print ads from all over the world that were not supposed to see the light of day because they were deemed too racy, violent, religiously offensive or just plain weird.

Some random descriptions: In image #17, high fashion is duly represented by Dolce and Gabbana's scandalously violent mob of beautiful, fashion-conscious young men (plus a naked chick) brandishing guns and knives. There's also the well-known D&G-spawned ad (#18) where a group of young men watch impassively as a half naked dude pins a chick down to the ground in what has been variously described as a "mob rape". We also have the weird and down right creepy "beauty to die for" ad leading the gallery of the absurd; former English PM Tony Blair bar code mustache at #4; the S&M duck which is second in the gallery(I'm sorry but that one is funny!); the Smint sex doll on #13 and plenty more images to be (hopefully) offended by.

Shockvertising-When Is Advertising Too Shocking?

When is shockvertising just too shocking? What sort of parameters, if any, could be delineated to mark the division between so-called cutting edge, out of the box advertising and just plain garbage with a very high shocking value designed to call attention to a product by whatever means necessary? But then again, isn't that what advertising is all about? By whatever means necessary...?

I just ask the questions.
