This contest has ended. The winner is comment #34!
The United States Olympic Committee and Ad Council Launched an Anti-Steroid Campaign with Support of Olympic Team Sponsor Johnson & Johnson. The multi-year public awareness campaign is focused on teen steroid use. With the support of Johnson & Johnson the campaign will be funded for at least three years.
I think most people know that Johnson & Johnson has long been involved in health awareness and education initiatives worldwide.
Why the Asterisk?
“Being caught with steroids comes with absolute penalties. You’re off the team. Your scholarship is gone. Your hopes of going pro are possibly out the window,” Gary Scheiner, Executive Creative Director, TBWA\Chiat\Day. “Our creative solution was to make teens understand that of all the outcomes of steroid use, fakeness is also considerably damaging. To illustrate this, we took a well-known icon already used in the world of sport, and turned it into our scarlet letter. The Asterisk.”
