A famous Dutch writer said last week “we are living in a over irritated world”. I admit, looking around at most blogs shows the dominance of the big mouth. Superiority and anger seems to be the keywords.
The British Mental Health Foundation ask in this years campaign how close you are to the boiling point. Most of us deal with anger in a healthy way. But for some of us anger can sometimes become a problem. Even if you don’t always express anger, it doesn’t mean you don’t feel it.
Problem anger has been linked to a range of physical, mental health and social problems. 


The campaign is multi-platform and includes:
- Boiling Point website
- Posters and postcards
- Booklet: Cool Down
- Report: Boiling Point Report
- Boiling Point Event
- Web banners

I was hoping the url would bring me to some kind of interactive page where I could test how angry i was or something - the ad itself has all the markings of a fun AND important message, but the landing page itself is a real letdown. In fact it made me angry.

I see - there IS an interactive website, but the video doesn’t point you there… That’s not good.
