Edit, this is my take on the ad
a lot of people are thinking its how people assume people with lung cancer deserve to die because they did it to themselves. Although not all lung cancer is caused by smoking which is what the ad is assumed to be getting at
There is this crazy new ad campaign, that seems to link back to the website noonedeservestodie.org. Only they will not be naming the killer for 58 hours. Many think it may be lung cancer, others think that is foolish. Many find the posters offensive and bad marketing.
I get that it can be offensive if taken strictly as written and not take into account that its dramtic for a reason and should end up showing that its not supposed to be read how it seems come Thursday.
But bad marketing? No. Thousands are already taking about it and its sweeping the web from starting out as bus stop posters. Thats certainly not bad marketing lol!
Whats your take on it?

You made a completely contradictory (hypocritical) statement there. You don't think ANYONE deserves to die.... EXCEPT a group of people you decided on.
So really you DO think people deserve to die. You just don't want people to think you're a bad person for it.
Quoting Mrs.Pool2Be:I saw this on my Facebook and I don't think anyone deserves to die except for anyone who molests or abuses a child.
As for the OP, this ad campaign is completely non-sensical. "No one deserves to die" but the issue here is that death isn't something one can control or do away with or something that only happens to some people. Everyone dies eventually.
It's not like hunger, you can control someone being hungry. The statement "No one deserves to be hungry" makes sense because that is a controllable outcome.
I hate to break it to this campaign (and everyone in here) but everyone is going to kick the bucket at some point deserving or not. It's going to happen. "No one deserves CANCER" would make sense from the Lung cancer perspective that was posted. Cancer is technically controllable, in the sense that not everyone gets it and not everyone who does get it dies from it.
So my money is that this is a campaign by some church (Jehovah's Witnesses perhaps) peddling everlasting life if you join up.
Quoting Mrs.Pool2Be:I think it's stupid. Just because they smoked and caused lung cancer to themselves doesn't mean they deserve to die, I am sure they are scared enough about dying without seeing something as heartless as this, know what I mean? Some people just have no cooth when it comes to other people and their feelings. :-(

I have heard from good sources that 100 out of 100 people die :)
The website that the ad is linked to speaks of 160 thousand people dying from a yet to be named disease is why I went with the cancer approach. Otherwise I would agree I could totally seem some form of religion using this campagin.
"Every year over 160,000 lives are lost to a deadly disease. They didn’t ask for it, but many people seem to think they deserved it. This disease doesn’t discriminate. It affects almost all of us and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. So, what is the killer? You’ll find out soon enough."

According to a light google search it's Lung Cancer so you're right. ;) So it's likely another annoying "The Truth!" campaign. If someone wants to smoke, let them, there's this thing called free will that we all have and it doesn't just apply to doing things that everyone approves of (which would be nothing because the whole of the human race don't agree on anything).

I could so see a church doing it though if that wasn't the tag line to the website. I have a feeling they will take the 2nd and 3rd hand smoke approach to it. I don't smoke but my dh does. I just do my best to have him not smoke in the home or car where the kids can be exposed. But I am not one to yell at others for smoking in public either. Everyone has their rights. I dont want to be exposed, so I choose to move away from others who choose to smoke :P
