Health Ads that use Fairy Tales

It was interesting to see that a surprising amount of ads about health used fairy tale motifs. Then again, maybe it isn't.

  1. The impotent Prince Charming one made me laugh.

    And maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get the "keep their fairytales out of hospital" ads.

  2. I don’t either actually. I included it because I thought the artwork was sad and thought provoking, but I don’t really get what the point is. I tried to look up the foundation, but I didn’t come across anything either.
