Fantastic. Both – idea and execution. I'm really impressed.
Personally i think i dont like the fact that it´s showing a sympathic side of a guy who´s responsible for millions of dead people - but then again, the japanese where always hooked on Nazis.
Why are you making reference to the Japanese when this ad is clearly an Indonesian creation?
Phill, i have to discord.
the man in anoouncement is not hittler. i mean, it's just a symbol of a preconceituous person
that acept a new product. preconceituous like every consumer.
In it´s first meaning it is. But the problem is that it uses a symbol which stands for hatred for different cultures and in showing that this mpnster has it´s "weaker" sides, it makes it sympathic. Neglecting that would be ignorant.
And away from the moral side - Hitler has been used so often in ad´s and so much cleverer ways that this ad is just tireing. In the end it looks like a student ad to me. Overused visual, cheap joke and crappy photoshop.
Shockingly boring.
This also reminds me why people have such a low opinion of the advertising industry.
I liked it boss. its serving the purpose. though execution can be bit improved
it's a new way of selling restaurant. really different.
{if only the restaurant sell jews's food, the idea would be stronger though :)}
good advert.. i dunno why people cant take thier heads out of thier arses and accept the fact that whatever hitler did was how war /torture went at that time.. even bush now is killing almost the same number of people but these morons still kiss his ass..
I dont know if it´s a lack of education or if you´re just misinformed. "Torture at that time" didnt went that way back then. Until then nobody had so many people killed systematically. And you can blame a lot of dead people on George W. but are you aware that the 3rd Reich killed about 6 Million jews in concentration camps? And there arent included the gay´s, blacks, gipsies and all the people who died in the war on all parts of the planet. All in all there where 60 million people who gave their lives because of that prick.
If you think anybody in this world has beaten hitlers "bodycount" than i suggest you take some math or history classes....altough i have a strange feeling that in your case it´s a lost cause because one cant fight stupidity with education.
Well, there is one other person who beat Hitler's bodycount. Ever heard of Pol Pot of Cambodia? Some argue that Pol Pot's 'more evil' than Hitler. Look him up.
Welcome to our new show "Who´s more evil??"
The score so far:
Adolf Hitler - 60 Million people
Pol Pot - 5 Million people
Pol Pot is revered to as "more evil" than Hitler, but that doesnt mean he succeeded in that. You have to differentiate between the "image" of a dictator and the hard facts.
(Marcio) Who do you think your kidding "this is not Hitler" What am I seeing: 40's era German uniform, Jack boots, Hitler's hair cut, Hitler's Mustache, A SWASTIKA, Part of the flag of the Third Reich,
No you are correct this is not Hitler, this is an artist rendering of Hitler. Either way this ad is embarrassing and insulting. WHY didn't Dentsu use Gingus Kahn in the ad? He also killed and enslaved millions. were they afraid of insulting part of their targeted consumer base??
To the person who wrote this ("why people cant take thier heads out of thier arses and accept the fact that whatever hitler did was how war /torture went at that time.. even bush now is killing almost the same number of people but these morons still kiss his ass") You need to get an education, your spelling and sentence formation are atrocious. Your comparison of Hitler to G.W. Bush is pedantic. and read a history book or two. If you knowledge was as vast as your ignorance you would be the most intelligent person on the globe.
Wouldn't really give the brand a good image.
making fun of really serious subject is a very good image, in my opinion.
of course it offends a lot of people, but they wont taste it, but for the rest (mostly the younger ones) this whole 2nd world war mass killers is way too past, and they got most of the images from the movies and such, so it's like some kinda frightening tale for them, and making fun of any fairy tales big bad rabbit is fun.
I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings and such, and I know history well, so I'm not questioning anything about hitler's role in the death of millions of peoples.
So I think his face and the hiding to eat oriental makes him look ridiculous, and it's the proper way to show monsters, and in a glimpse you can feel how weak foundation has his (or their) philosophy.
the message is clear, the brand is cool and I think the target group is below 50 so it's fine.
not too bright, but fun.
I like your humor, your positive attitude towards the world and the way you are looking at this ad but a lot people dont perceive it the way that you do.
And the people who are targeted are exactly those who believe that something like this could never happen again - and this is wrong. Knowing history is one thing but you should learn from it.
Good night and god bless.
and also don't forget that every dictatorship hates and chases parody to death.
what do you think why?
Because it shouldnt ridicule it´s leaders. But this is not a parody, it´s an ad. In a parody the goal is to take the piss out of people - in an ad the parody is a tone of voice for a certain message. And it´s easy to misunderstand a voice.
Anyway, i am getting tired of this discussion.
I am going to upload soon a few ad´s wich use Adolf to transport a message and you will see that you can do really good ad´s with dictators instead of cheap student jokes.
Both sides are valid... but I think it should be more sensitive. Its still the ad industry.
: : mystique : :
I thought Hitler only ate sausages and sauerkraut.
the only good thing about this ad is the illustration (two thumbs up for Jermy), the idea Totally sucks, what hitler and KKK have to do with chinese culture, YOU SUCK MAN BIG TIMEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and one more when everybody else sent an ad they do not search for recognition like "put the name of all the team", i think u really need an attention do you????????
I don't see why I should try Chopstix by seeing this ad.
I guess, you just missed the main objective here.
Such a pity...
"Shockingly boring."
Could not have said it better myself. It's very "design schooly" in the sense that it's desperate for your attention, then does nothing with it.
overused visual and concept.
cant believe that Dentsu Indonesia made this kind of ad.
hope Gandhi can make a fresh idea.
at least there's something hitler can't hate...0;)
You say Hitler killed 60 million, Pol Pot killed 5 million, Mao Zedong and Stalin were right up there with them. But George Bush has killed the social conscience of over half the American population, a number in excess of 100 million, now that't an effort.
I always liked a good discussion and this was a very good one, the ad makes a good one too
Were any adds of this highly offensive nature to be shown in Europe or North America the company being advertised would be boycotted out of business. I agree that it's a bit desperate for attention.
