Good ads sometimes hurt
This visually awkward print ad by Leo Burnett, Warsaw, shows the Burmese political revolutionary Aung San Suu Kyi behind bars. Suu Kyi has been under house arrest in Myanmar for over 14 years, since a military coup overruled the results of democratic elections.
In the 1990 general election, Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party won 59% of the national votes and 392 of 492 seats in Parliament. Some claim that this made Suu Kyi the elected Prime Minister, but she was already under house arrest before the elections. She is a symbol of hope that one day there will be an end to the country's military repression.
