    This ad is beneficial propaganda, because it is using what was a popular internet meme, and highlighting how often abuse is ignored. It is using the technique of simplifying information and ideas, kind of, because it is taking what is generally popular, and applying it to a serious issue. In my opinion this is beneficial, because I think it is important to highlight domestic abuse.

    I believe that the add is beneficial to the women who are being abused because it raises awareness and makes people think about what is happening to innocent women.
