Premature Christmas Card

premature christmas cardFrom Ads of the World:

Every year, the premature baby unit at Edith Cavell hospital sends cards to the other departments as well as to ex-patients.  This year, they sent this card in mid-October.  When you open it you see the message:

"It's a little premature, but Happy Christmas."

Agency: McCann-Erickson, Belgium
Creative Director: Jean-Luc Walraff
Copywriter: Gregory Defay

Maybe I'm just taking this card a little too seriously, but I find this card to be very sad.  I wouldn't want to receive a card like this.  Would you?

Hmm...

First I did a quick chuckle at it's wittiness, and then like you found it a little sad. I would thing ex-patients would find this insulting.

I have to say that the card is creative, but being reminded that my child was in an incubator in his/her first days of life struggling to live... I would just be downright angry.

I just don't see the humor in such a serious thing.
