    NSW Police Department

    DDB Sydney has released a print campaign to raise awareness of the fact that the number of teenagers dying as a result of listening to ipods whilst they cross the road is beginning to reach “epidemic proportions”. I like the art direction of this campaign, even though i would have liked to see some different executions. Maybe use other models of the iPod.

      Interesting, but I imagine Apple is not going to like their product being used in this way. They can probably expect a call from Apple Legal.

      Since when did ipods become a life-threatening hazard?

      I agree with David H. - Apple is NOT going to like this kind of exposure: “teenagers dying as a result of listening to ipods”

      Now this is a bold message.

    11. Andrew Says:
      January 8th, 2008 at 6:50 pm

      Interesting campaign.

      The creative is quite nice, I agree though, a few more iPod models would have been nice.

      It will be interesting to see how effective this actually is, with all the information in our lives (including the music on our iPods) people have memories like fish, a more effective campaign would be POC (point of cross)!

      Did iPod offer funding for this campaign? I think it will actually work in their favour, noone is going to gain a negative attitude towards them and noone is really going to stop using the iPod, but just one more time the iconic white buds will be further cemented into our brains!

      Great ad… this is the type of ad you keep and show to your friends: everyone knows the oblivious iPod walker. Clever, but not so much so that people won’t get it. Nice balance.

      I’m sure Apple legal will be cool with it… they officially disown products 2 cycles out, so they won’t even acknowledge that’s their product ;)

      thats terrible. an obvious solution and crap photograhy.
      hopefully they have talked to apple prior release, or they are in the shit. old product or not, its still an obviouse apple product.

      As an ambo I think it’s a pretty good campaign actually - we’re seeing more and more of these types of accidents each year.

      While not an ‘epidemic’, it hopefully will saves us having to tell some kids parents he didn’t make it, but at least he had good taste in music…

      Are police going to prosecute deaf people too?
      People say it’s a good idea, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Headset devices have been available to the public for over 30 years! Why is this all of a sudden an epidemic. It’s just another way for the government to rape more taxes through fines. Just like they have done with speed camera’s
      It is down to educating young people to stop before they cross the road. Full stop.

    53. Phil Says:
      January 13th, 2008 at 6:12 pm

      So many words, so little space.

      (1) Welcome To The Nanny State

      (2) The Ad Campaign should be entitled “Evolution in Action”

      (3) Seriously folks, these aren’t accidents, they’re just successful suicide-by-mp3player - what did you expect when you give an EMO an iPod for christmas?

      (4) NEWS Just In: Apple sues NSW Police Dept for Defamation, Slander, Trademark Infringement/Copyright Violation (too close to the “normal” iPod ad campaigns).

      (aaaaand finally) Already mentioned but worth repeating - deaf people cross the roads every day, the problem is NOT “can’t hear the traffic”.

      The campaign should read “Don’t cross the road without TURNING YOUR BRAIN ON”.

      (sigh)

      “watch for cars when wearing headphones” is SO lame!

      What , I don’t need to watch if I’m not wearing?

      (swish) there went an *almost silent* electric car which would have killed me JUST AS DEAD - “listening for traffic” was NEVER good enough.
