When I read that we had to post a shocking ad, this is the one that came to my mind. I remember seeing it about a year ago. Its an advertisment for an X-Box game, Hitman: Blood Money. I remember wanting to buy the game but I remember more what a controversy the ad itself was. As I can recall, the ad was deemed "mysoginistic" and "overly-violent". I think it does "work", in the sense that it provokes our morbid interest in death, and more interestingly, it combines the taboo of death and the sexuality of woman.
