Johnson - Peace little girl / Daisy girl - (1964) .60 (USA)

This ad known as "Daisy Girl", ran only once as a paid advertisement, during an NBC broadcast of Monday Night at the Movies on September 7, 1964. In it a little girl counts the petals of a flower, and as we zoom in to her eye a nuclear explosion is superimposed. This is cited as the first example of negative political advertising, a.k.a scare-tactics.

Johnson VO: "These are the stakes: To make a world in which all of God's children can live, or to go into the darkness. We must either love each other, or we must die. "

Tag VO: Vote for President Johnson on November 3rd. The stakes are too high for you to stay home.

Labour isn't working - billboard 1978

This poster is often cited as being instrumental in the fall of James Callaghan's Labour administration, and certainly changed the way political advertising was done in the UK. It launched the brothers Saatchi's advertising agency kingdom and put Margaret Thatcher in power. All of this was done with a pun! Or play on words, if you prefer.
