I'm a passerby and just cant understand why this always happens? This isn't even criticism? "niggah please. barack jr."....it's a MINDLESS comment. You should talk about the the conflicts of the ad and how it's message could be conveyed more clearly, not attach unnecessary slurs whenever you see an opportunity. Grow up.

How can a client do this kind of ad ? How can a agency do this to his client ?

Guest commenter's picture

as a black man I love it.

I can see the fear that came out of the guy who wrote

"If you eat chocolate you'll have black kids!"

I wish it did, they'de be better looking. LOL

m black 2 you DUMB!!!

Rookieoftheyear's picture 38 pencils

In the theme of racism that is present throughout this ad and thread, behold some black guys trying to spell words and type coherent sentences. Keep trying guys, I'm sure you'll catch up some day.

Disco Munky's picture 3934 pencils

I heard your mother was a retard cunt who fucked a gang of hill billies for a jar of mayonnaise.

From your comment I can only assume that the story is true.

Stupid prick.

you're black so you're going to love anything with a black person in it. black people need to learn how to write. ebonics is not a language. do you guys whistle and smack your lips inbetween letters?

Crisp One's picture 2031 pencils

You're white trash so you're going to love anything with Metallica and Kiefer Sutherland in it. White trash people need to learn to "read good". NASCAR is not a sport. Do you guys HAVE to marry and procreate in between family members?

Disco Munky's picture 3934 pencils

No freaking way you're in advertising. Your narrow view and puckered anus would prevent you from ever having an original thought. Why don't you go read the Bible and jerk of to gun porn. You absolute fool.

"stay low, move fast"

p.s
I bet you also jerk off when you see your mum in her bra.

This is what i call trash from Chocolate Koons.I have a nice boot to put up his as.That is why mikie jackson wants to look white.Differnt color of hair for white babies are wonderful not just black.The trash guy and the followers on you tube had to eat to much chocolate.They just all ugly as monkeys.Now i know why monkeys wipe there butt with there hands.This really shows the FEAR for some stupied so called black preachers that are wanna bees.As a white guy i really love it.

Disco Munky's picture 3934 pencils

As a white guy who clearly thinks he's the smartest. You can't even type coherently. Bravo.

Your eagerness to show how good you are has put you at the bottom of the intellectual pile.

Under the Blacks Yellows Reds Browns and everyone else.

I wish I could hi-five you.

Isn't this guy the last generation after the toads? well since no amount of inbreeding could perpetuate the European royal families, I'm sure he is one of those toad-hole dwellers who was spared by hitler.

Guest's picture

Black is chocolate. Hmmmmm... i desperately hope you guys are black and that this is your first ad??!!
I wonder if all the creatives who send their work to Ivan would do upload every shit they can think of if all the viewers could see a picture from them...

oki doki's picture

Weak idea weak concept, and above offensive!
Ivan, I recommend to open a new topic 'worst advertising of the year', students can leart allot from it

ivan's picture

Worse or best is so relative, just check the comments above. Ppl either love it or hate it. There is no absolute in this profession.

Roger Daly's picture 361 pencils

What's more, I've noticed the great ad ideas polarise people.
Cadbury "Gorilla" 08 Cannes GP...
Kadu Surfwear "Shark" 94 Cannes GP...
Keep talking, people.

is it really great if none of these excited people buy the chocolate?

But you know, the real person called jesus was more like that, he wasn't like the XIV century white face - right?
He was (if ever existed...) more brown - much like Obama. (lol)

This ad is much more "The Real Jesus - like the Real Chocolate! - Eat the Original!"

frozzzt's picture 62 pencils

I liked that "The Real Jesus - like the Real Chocolate! - Eat the Original!"

hauhauahuahuahau!! This ad is so bad - that is funny!

Im black, I love the image, but it still doesn't sell the product. Jesus, though deemed pure, isn't the strongest visual connection to that word. Maybe a chocolate dove, idunno...just seems to be a bit of a stretch

What are we? Even not the minutest of the minutest particles in the wide expanse of the universe which is just incomprehensible. So why just fight over mere colour. 'Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'. So it is all relative & subjective.
About the advt': I interpret it this way- chocolates are dark in colour & hence the coloured Madonna & Infant Jesus. Chocolates are so tasty ie. heavenly & hence the devine characters.

ACreativeSpirit's picture 159 pencils

Finally a jesus and mary that look closer to what they really did look like. Remember they are of middle eastern descent. As the bible said he has hair like that of a sheep. He looks like the people of Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria. That's where he's form that's where he lived. So all the ads that use a white jesus are the ones that are being imaginative.

Always try to be unique even when forced to conform.
