Play-Doh Ad Campaign Takes It Too Far
Sunday, 08 November 2009

Clever advertising requires a savvy and creative team, but a series of ads for Play-Doh in a magazine from Singapore took it a little too far. Inventive? Or just creepy?


These advertisements were only printed a single time, as upon the discovery by parent company Hasbro that somebody in their Singapore office had approved the ads, they promptly pulled the ads.

These images apparently try to remind people that Play-Doh is extremely safe for children to play with, but we’d be far more concerned if your kid was fashioning switchblades of clay than if they accidentally ingested a bit of Play-Doh.
