Look me in the eyes… I said the eyes

Confusing, where to look?
The original ad by Wonderbra (left) is obvious. Two things to look at, her eyes and her cleavage.
“Regardez-moi dans les yeux… J’ai dit les yeux”
“Look me in the eyes ... I said the eyes.”
What about the ad from CAP48 (above), the Belgium voluntary initiative by the RTBF?
What are your eyes doing? Be honest.
The ad is part of a new campaign from CAP48 published in newspapers and on postcards. The campaign contains also 4 videos and radio spots. See the videos after the break.
CAP48 campaigns for handicapped people in Wallonie, the French-speaking part of Belgium.
The model is Tanja Kiewitz, graphic designer at agency Air: “People often think that handicapped people don’t have a personality, that they are strange people. They have to see that I’m a woman above all and that I can be beautiful and sexy, and the handicap is secondary.”
“The idea was to try to change the way so-called normal people view the handicapped,” said Johan Stockmann, communications and partnership officer of CAP48. “They look at the handicap, not at the person. We want to change that.”
