CNA Stores in South Africa has used a print advertising campaign to promote Tipp-Ex, the white-out liquid, as the way to turn back time. The ads feature a bride who’s about to marry the wrong guy, a teenage mother with her baby, and a guy who’s regretting his one night stand. A clever concept, but somewhat disturbing. The tag line on the Tipp-Ex bottle, “To Be, Or Not To Be, That is the Question”, when applied to people, is bordering on chilling.
