@Tom I see pain in the print ads brought with a familiar communication technique, changing roles. For me the nudity isn’t sexualization of the cause. (in the print ads).
I see fragility.
My complaint is that the video doesn’t fit in that campaign strategy. The video do have the sexualisation. For that the campaign in total isn’t consequent.

I dunno, Marc. I find the models and the poses pretty self-consciously sexual. And their “pained” reactions are not very believable. I see no fragility there, just an AD who wanted to work with (and painstakingly photoshop) naked people.
But why argue? I’d rather be having a drink with you! Proost!
