Please remove this ad .. it is very upsetting and no one wishes to get cancer so they can fight it .

If you have to explain what the ad is supposed to mean than you haven't done your job well. It's offensive to everyone.. poorly thought out, looking for the shock factor rather than something helpful or catchy

The same day I seen this ad for the 1st time, we had just found out a family member had been diagnosed with cancer. The same cancer that caused a death in the family. Very upsetting advert & not appropriate at all!!

Waste of resources raised by honest fund raisers. Trying to be clever with the creation of an advert that with grab attention- just ended up offensive. Do the right thing and dispose if it.

There is not one person in Ireland that has not been effected by cancer in 1 way or another so I think Ireland already "gets cancer" I find the ad in very bad taste and think it should be removed

The wording for this advertisement is completely insensitive & in poor taste. I was 10 years of age when my Dad lost his battle with cancer it was a Tuesday by the Friday of the same week my Grandad Nick was gone once her heard his son was gone he had no fight left in him to keep battling the cancer he had. There are more sensitive ways in which to produce a commercial! This ad needs to be seriously rethought.
