Cultural / Context information for the jury

In Sweden, like in many other countries, the use of swearing in printed media is not allowed. But in a print with the purpose of raising money for Tourette's research, we found the perfect opportunity to run it. More than one in three Swedes will have a brain disease at some point in their life - stroke, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, or anorexia to give a few examples. But in TV, books and films, Tourette's have most often been portrayed as a diagnosis that makes you swear uncontrollably. This prejudice has been used frequently since it creates seemingly comic situations. But many Swedes don't know that uncontrolled swearing is only true for a small percentage of those who have Tourette's syndrome. So to show that increased knowledge about the brain can reduce prejudice, we used this preconception about Tourette's in the headline to draw the broader populations attention.
