Upload-a-photo bullying effort invites abuse
M&C Saatchi's "Unhappy Slap" is loads of fun. You can upload your face onto the victim of a harrowing London street attack and thus experience—virtually, at least—the pain and humiliation of bullying. Since you can't feel the blows, it's no worse than seeing yourself in a movie. The problem, of course, is that you can just as easily upload photos of friends, enemies and bosses. (The "Report abuse" section is prominent for a reason.) I think it works better that way. Take that, Fred from accounting! Hit him again! Oh man, this would be perfect if I could upload my face onto one of the perps. Via Campaign.
