For my adbuster I thought about doing something that has been very popular in the news recently. The Lance Armstrong doping scandal has rocked the cycling world. There was a Nike ad a few years ago in which Armstrong acknowledged that he had been called a doper and that it wasn't true and he doesn't ride for those people he rides for all the people struggling with cancer. On a personal level I have no issue with what Lance Armstrong did but I did have a problem with him constantly making a big deal about it and then creating a huge thing years later. So for my ad buster I would have on one side a picture of Lance Armstrong winning on his bike and on the other side I would have someone doping.
Now over the middle of the poster I would have a caption that would read "Does the end justify the means?" This would have a deeper meaning than just all the tour d france titles. Because Lance Armstrong's legacy is more than just a normal cyclist. He has done great things to help people with his charity and spreading awareness through his "Livestrong" campaign. From my perspective the ends do justify the means, but it is up to the reader of the ad to decide.
