A Message from Macedonia


This social TV ad campaign was produced for the Government of the Republic of Macedonia aimed at promoting education in the country.


Albert Einstein, the genius that he was and at a very tender age, discovered that evil does not exist.   This got me thinking.  Does it take a genius to know the non-existence of evil?   Does it follow that intelligence should negate evil?

POST SCRIPT: A day after I posted this, a good friend sent me a link that clears up the fictive story about the young Einstein challenging his professor on the existence of evil.  It explains how Einstein had become "a stock character to be tossed in a fray wherever the script calls for a genius."  Oh well, welcome to the world of advertising - where urban legends become real under the blanket of creative license!
