This ad has to be removed. I lost my mam, dad and my brother through cancer. Also my father-in-law and brother-in-law. I dont need to "GET"cancer, believe me it "GOT" me in a big way.

I hate the scare tactics that this ad uses. A seven year old told me she didn't want to get cancer.

ICS thinks it's smart and 'creative' with this campaign. It's not. It's hurtful to so make who are fighting cancer and have lost loved ones to this disease. They play on the words goes over kids heads. Why would you inflict more worry on children who maybe have already lost one parent. There are better, smarter and more compassionate campaigns that can be run. It's not all about the shock factor.

Totally misses the point. Cancer is growth of cells who have forgotten how to replicate properly. We will NEVER 'get' cancer.

This advert is very confusing for children, it's not appropriate and the Irish cancer society would want to reconsider what this ad is saying!!!

I am signing this petition as I feel the wording is absolutely unnecessary, as someone who believes We should not put negative sentiments out into the Universe, We are forced to with these horrid adds.. My Mother passed away from that horrid disease, that's shocking enough without further "shock" tactics in Our faces, everywhere We turn.. It's in very bad taste+frankly I feel the money would be far better spent on research....
