A new way to get cancer
The Irish Cancer Society plays with the word 'get' in its new campaign.

“I want to get cancer so my friends never do,” a voice-over says in a new Irish Cancer Society ad. “I want to get cancer because my mom had it,” says another.
What appear to be non sequiturs begin to make sense as the ad progresses and the lines become more tragic, angry and eventually hopeful with a researcher saying “I want to get cancer before it gets you.”
The spot from Dublin-based Chemistry stars real cancer survivors. The campaign is also supported with outdoor and radio ads.
