Amnesty International, whose clever ideas we’ve already posted on this site before (dozen of times), released another brave campaign under the title: “See no Evil”. Billboards they printed, show afterimage optical illusions. When you first look at the seemingly unrelated black shape, you probably won’t recognize anything interesting. But if you know how afterimages work, then you’ll immediately see some of the worlds most notorious villains. Concentrate at the red cross at the center of each image, and after a minute, move your eyes and look at some white surface (wall, paper, ceiling… ). After few seconds you’ll be able to see negative of the black shape, which will form face of the very familiar “celebrity”. There are 5 different posters inside this article, can you recognize all the villains they picture? This campaign greatly reminds me of Veja Magazine’s promotional posters (part I, part II, part III).

AHHHH!
Second image is like see myself on a mirror!!!
I think it’s odd that you consider it unfair that Bush is included in this list. Yet, I’m guessing you are perfectly okay with the other 4 people being included. While I don’t necessarily think Bush is a “villain,” I’m sure there are plenty of people who think that the other people should not be included in the list. There are people all over the world who HATE George Bush, and as this is an International campaign, it is only fair that he be included as well.
‘These people’? Why SHOULDN’T Bush be lumped in with ‘these people’? Bush himself is not exactly a saint…what has/hasn’t he done to make him any better than the rest?Theyre all similarly struggling to run their country….
haha…for once the person who said ‘first’ IS first =D
interesting after images…
i thought the first one was JFK.
I think you guys are missing the point… the reason Bush is lumped in with these people isn’t just because he’s become an international symbol of American arrogance due to his decisions in the Middle East. I think the “See No Evil” phrase invites you to see *beyond* what these people represent and how they are perceived by the media and by you and your neighbors. Think about the causes and the complex machinery behind the symbolic figurehead. Calling someone “evil” is an oversimplification — we should all be thinking more critically.
The last one is obviously Colonel Sanders, he who hath unleashed evil, evil fried chicken upon the world.
*burp*
Wow! i can’t believe that some of you guys think the last one is Chavez. I’m not Venezuelan and know that is not Hugo Chavez.That guy on the picture is obviously Asian. duh!

the last one looks like Mao je Tung (Chinese leader during WW2), but I’m not sure he’s a villain
From top to bottom…
Geogre W Bush
Osama Bin Laden

Vladimal Putin (anti-russian?)
And Hu Jintao (probably by anti-communist practioners and sinophobic people…)
1.Bush?Not so Evil
2.Osama bin Laden?Evil
3.Kim Sung ill!Not that evil but more evil than Bush
4.Putin?I don’t see evil in his eyes…
5.Hu jintao?Evil? Just because his communist doesn’t make him evil!
I thought the third one looked like Robert Mugabe and is the last one Chairman Mao?
Is the first one George W. Bush? I don’t mean to be mean or anything, but he is slightly evil, but not in a T.V show villan way. Just an annoying neighbor way. :)
your all fighting for nothing its not Bush in the first one ITS NIXON
Richard Nixon
Osama is not the second but the rest are all right
the second one is osama just without the beard
Once again, the second one is Ahmajinedad, the President of Iran. The first one is definitely Bush. Still not sure on the last one… definitely looks Asian though…

Dude, Anonymous has some issues to work out. Think the Col. Sanders comment was hilarious! …as well as Chuck Norris. Clever. :)
The Birthers and “Obama is Evil” crowd don’t seem to realize that life is an intelligence test. A test that they FAILED miserably. Ask them about the newspaper birth announcement; you’ll just get hemming, hawing and “yes, but.”
LOSERS. Stupid ones at that. The typical response to a post like this? “I know you are, but what am I?!”
The future of the Republican party is a bunch of dufuses that believe in bigfoot and Rush Limbaugh. Hey! Maybe Rush IS bigfoot!
2nd last must be Adolf Hitler.
I was like WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? when I looked at the first. I stared for 30 secs to save a bit of time so the image came for about 3 secs. I doubted what i saw was true, What i think i saw was Elvis O_o
Nobody considers him a villian…. MJ was like Elvis…
The second one is Ahmadinnejad.
who’s the second one, chuck norris?
