But this is a skeleton! With a really full stomach!

the explanation is:
the skeleton is supposed to be the death himself (maybe you can see the scythe next to him), and he has a really full stomach, because so many people in africa die.
got it?

Re: Marc “Good copy, strange design. Person looks like a pregnant skeleton”.
I think this is an excellent image - not so much a pregnant skeleton, but a very well-fed Death! What with the barren landscape, lack of water, foliation, etc - The proliferation of death is inevitable. The Creative is very well executed and not at all strange.

I believe that the FIRST Thing we have to do is:
To Educate Women about SEX
They Most Know that Before to Get Pregnant,

a. Has to be a Husband To Support Her and their
innocent Child.

b. Is there enough Money to Feed Herself, during
Pregnancy, and After She has the Innocent Baby?

We have to educate Men and Women, that if they can not Support an Innocent Child, is BETTER Not to Bring Any BABY To Suffer to This Cruel World.

It makes me Very Sad to See Babies Crying, with Hunger, and Being Raised by a Single Parent.

And it Makes me Angry for That Stupidity and Ignorance of those Women and Men that Chose to Have A Baby when They Do Not Even Have Food or Money to Support Themselves.

Babies Never Ask to Come to This World!

I Highly Recommend:
Abortion and Sterilization
if Condoms are Not Available.

ALLAH Is Great!
