I find it interesting that the whole thing appears to be of questionable legal standing: there seems to be a theory that the creators of the PSA didn't actually get permission from Marvel and DC to use the characters' likeness. Though I also doubt that there will be too much of a problem with this, seeing as how attacking a positive PSA might look a little, oh what's the word? Tacky?
These ads are more than tacky, they're just in horrible taste. They come off very creepy and I believe there are much more effective ways to educate women on preventative measures and overall breast cancer awareness.
