Seriously, who is stupid enough to make an ad about donating for the poor around the world using some random and stupid stray yukkuri, that's so out of place and unrelated to the topic, That I even think it's offensive.
It's kinda why I prefer their Superior Western Brother, EasyPeace, not only they aren't ecotards and rabid lovers, but they are more effective in helping good yu's while leaving the bad yu's in the hads of the respective authorities...
And yeah, it has nothing to do with me creating that faction back in one of my fics way before I got to know about yukkurinpeace, nope, you're just imagining thing, it's not me glorifying a faction I made STOP ASKING QUESTIONS! >A>U...<A<U...<A>U...>A<U
Probably not, since some of the references in the aid aren't even remotely relatable to yukkuri. It seems to me that it's more reasonable to conclude that the yukkuri are being used as cute stand-ins rather than being the actual beneficiaries of the ad.
It's not like it'd be the first time that organizations have put out horrifically bad advertising.
Now it makes me recall that idea I discussed time ago about how someone could end up using Yukkuris to make the paralel of that UNICEF Anti-War Cartoon that had War ravaging the Smurfs's village...though it may backfire considering who would be "bombed" this time (even more if you consider that it would be unlikely they would use good yu's for that.)
Bleh, I'm deeply unfond of attempts to use stand-ins in anti-war commercials. I remain convinced that the best method is to use real-life footage because that's the way to hammer home the real cost of war even if it's deeply unsettling and upsetting to see.
I'd probably make a complete ass of myself laughing if such a commercial used yukkuri, both because yukkuri are ridiculous and because the commercial would be quite hypocritical.
I quite agree, it's one of the reasons why I hated that UNICEF ad the other being that the ad was the most literal case of "childhood murdering" I had ever seen. If you want to make a cartoon about the negativty of war, do it properly, no "cutesy stand in to butcher", make a serious story about people and war.
I also think that hypothetical Ad may come out as humorous if it's like I said, and instead of good yu's, they use bad yu's that nobody will miss, since I'm picturing them going all Gesuaki or Kirishima before and after the bombs fall, so you would have this hilariously bizarre image of arrogant smug yu's trashing around and trashtalking during the whole thing, maybe even having loads and loads of bottom wiggle to make it extra funny.
I wonder Who want to save those little pieces of shit(oh sorry for all shit(I mean dirty poop) around the world)? Yukkurinpeace? Funny stupid useless thing huh.

I'd like to say that no one would be stupid enough to put out an ad like that, but I'd be lying.

Even more in the yukkuri world where stupidity is greater in some parts (and since in the real world UNICEF was stupid enough to make the Smurf's ad...)
Hm, to be fair, the Smurf ad isn't as terrible as it could be. It's lame and even a bit silly, but it does get the general message across.
I was thinking more along the line of people in Africa mistaking either baby food or baby powder for ground-up babies because literacy rates were low and no one in the marketing department bothered to do the ground-work before slapping on similar labels to those that they were using elsewhere.

It's exactly that line of thinking that would create this sort of ad using yukkuri.

I disagree. I'd consider the use of cartoon images detrimental to the message but not enough to erode its actual meaning. In contrast, I'd trust most people to realize that using yukkuri not only blunts the message to the point of uselessness, but is more-or-less actively stepping over and getting buddies to beat on the message with baseball bats.
Though without evidence, I suspect this to be actually a parody to the real advertisement made by some charity groups or peace-keeping troops or UNICEF or else.
But if it's so, then the actual advertisement must be really, really sad. Dun wanna find out :(
