Hey! Thanks so much for the backstory! They’re really great images, it’s awesome to get more information about where they come from while simultaneously having a Positive Internet Conversation. 

I see where you’re coming from, and it’s definitely interesting to look at the usage of the comparison in an ad meant to encourage further learning. The amount of time and space you have at your disposal to attract an incredibly specific type of person can create some interesting images, and while I still feel the same way about the comparison made, it’s good to be reminded of the process to think of ways to get that same message with the same cleverness across as opposed to just sitting back and saying, “Neh. Wrong, hatred, emotions!” I’ve seen a lot of articles/media that call Genghis Khan the world’s most prolific lover, which is….all kinds of wrong, and with far more space to be exact. Oi.

But yeah, one of the reasons I respond to this in public is that I wanted to say that even though the ads aren’t ‘real’ per se, you should know that it’s awesome to see someone involved in the business of advertising who responds so considerately to concerns. I checked out your portfolio, and your stuff looks great, so it’s neat to see someone talented who’s eager to engage.
