This is one of the best headlines I've read in a long while. It's not trying to be funny or weird or outrageous, it's just true, in a most surprising and powerful way. The copy continues in the same lean-in manner. Since this is the first ad I've seen from the Japanese athletic company, I don't what they're all about. But if I had to guess, I'd say they're representing the dark side of Nike, which is a cool place to play in. Long live long copy. Don't know the agency.

Great fucking headline. Too bad that the bodycopy works harder at selling the sport as opposed to the brand. Grade: B
Great headline but, it seems like dog walkers and hunters actually find more bodies.
agency is cp+b.
Plus, as a female runner, I like to keep to the pedestrianised areas so that I don't end up the one dead!
But nice ad nonetheless.
I like the headline too... but as an avid theonion.com reader, I have to say this slighty borrowed from their article "Nation's Joggers sick of finding dead bodies."
Bot hacky as a headline. But it's a pretty hacky and over-used stand-up routine. So the actual idea isn;t all that original.
