I am a cancer survivor and as a result of your 'Get Cancer' campaign my 7 year old daughter is confused about 'getting cancer. She asked me 'if you love someone who got Cancer does that mean you want to get Cancer?". Bad choice of words ICS. You may think there is a degree of success in this campaign due to the amount of publicity it is getting but I'm pretty confident that most would agree with me when I say that in this case there is such a thing as bad publicity. I urge you to end this campaign immediately.

Having watched my Dad fight for his life and lose, also numerous family members and friends, are ye kidding with this crap? I can only assume this is a desperate attempt to line their own pockets again ,using shock tactics. I'm delighted it's having the opposite affect. Greed does not pay

Such a terrible , insensitive & shocking ad . Please take it down & instead put up a profound & sincere apologie to all the people who have been shocked , saddened & angered by your horrific ad . No doubt a lot of thought & money went into the creating & making of the ad but sadly you got it all wrong . Please do the decent thing now & withdraw it from circulation , take ownership of your calamitous project & apologise perfusely .

The people who made this ad do not live with cancer every day, 24/7. They need to cop on to the damage they have done to the people who do.
