see, these germans too want to tell us how kind they've been after the Holocaust, when they're turning a blind eye to the new holocaust, which is the apartheid being done unto the palestinians by the same people who claim that they have been victims of the same kind of treatment by the hands of germans.
and lo germans are telling us now china's human right conduct is not good.
very weak, idotic and height of stupidity campaign

the campaign is shit but you need to relax badly.
What on earth makes you think that "those germans" are trying to tell anyone anything?
Seriously, what is wrong with you?
This is an ad campaign, it's not the government, nor germany telling us anything...
I personally don't think that this is a great ad, but what on earth does it have to do with the holocaust, or the palestinians?
yea~fair enough.
im a chinese and i can't agree more.
China is huge...good things,bad things,good people,bad people...u know...just like ur countrys.
ok,some chinese need relax,face everything good and bad,this is the real world.pls understand we r not used to it yet.
anyways.we just need more help and love,not out-understanding judge.
xie xie!(thanks in chinese)
starigy for this campaign should be about qulity and efficiency not color deferency or missing stampes or Apple=Apell...small minds

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

Do you konw the humen right in China?
the only reason i think the overall message is doo doo is ( this is where I get all "bleeding heart liberal" ) is there is other countries that mass produce crap and abuse thier citizens rights, privacy ect.( cough******U.S. ) waaaaay more than China. They must be doing something right to have a huge surplus, and exports up tha booty hole.
i'm afriad you said alright
funny hahahaha
Am I the only one who likes it? Maybe we can fuss around the client but I think the ad is nice.

I'm with you Jim! Like it too.
i think the ad is ok, not genius, but not crap either.
politics should be discussed on another thread; funny though i have never saw you getting your arse in flames around a nike or adidas commercial because the shoes are probably done by an underpaid underaged chinese boy!!
i wonder if apple and stihl and the rest are paying for media for this ad :)
I like it. Good way to think. Simply and popular issue.
And Jai Hind have to cool down very fastly...
off course you'll like it because first you tried to kill all the jews and when you were unable to do that you guys placed all of your guilt to the people of faraway land (read palestine) which had nothing to do with the holocaust. and today you put a blind eye on every evil which happens to those poor people who could not even defend themselves.
so much for the 2nd original sins. Jesus will never forgive you, never ever.
and as far as hot or cool concerned, am a cool headed person.

This idea contradicts itself, I'm afraid. If it's all about human rights, why would you want to make fun of China?

It's not making fun, it's just light hearted.
What's with this attack on China lately? Is that the latest advertising trend?
This ad is crap and is also racist. And Germans should be the LAST people to say ANYTHING about human rights. The creative directors, the art director, their grandparents are Nazis let's not forget that.
You are one ignorant prick, sorry sir but you really are.
Not everyone's a Nazi in Germany, and that's part of history.
China's rampant copying and oppression of human rights is current and abundant.
Nothing wrong with advertising pointing out the truth in relevant times.
If the credit hidden and the words were translated to Chinese, who would you scold? Judge the work for what it is, not where it came from.
I don't really know what your grandfather was up to, vwray81, but YOU'll have to be held responsible for what he did. Let's see, killing native americans and taking their land, slavery, Vietnam, wow, your ancestors were real badasses.
Thank you.
You're wrong on ALL accounts there buddy. You don't even know me. I am American, yes, but none of my ancestors nor any of my relatives had anything to do with the negative American history. Nice try.
Even if they did, slavery was a century ago. Vietnam was a war, but it wasn't a holocaust, at least not one that Americans were initiating.
You guys want to make this into a history class, yet I'm merely commenting on this shitty ad campaign and the hypocrisy and racism of it. But basically you're defending Germans for being hypocrites - good for you.
History class? What you need is a kick in the balls. Unfortunately you don't have any...
OK if your grandparents and you had nothing to do with the holocaust, but you and your president are abetting the new holocaust whether its in iraq, afghanistan, and palestine, because you guys are the real money behind it. its your money through which america kills. and to no surprise it always happens to muslims.
or are you suggesting if somebody did to the jews than it was bad but if you do it moslems than it is ok.

Freak. You need help, badly.
Yes, whitespace, not everyone in Germany is a Nazi, but their grandparents were. And fine, even if we take away the fact that this was an ad made in Germany, and made somewhere else, it's still a racist ad. Using a negative to get another negative point of view across. That's just poor direction and a lame idea.
And Kris, go fall down a flight of stairs buddy, thanks.
I just said you were an ignorant prick, no need to get offensive. At least you didn't play the race card this time.
Kris, you'd better ignore this vwray81, he's a narrowminded thickhead with no knowledge about history whatsoever. A waste of time this guy.
Uh oh, looks like we got an internet vigilante coming to the rescue. If I'm a waste of time, why are you taking your own time to tell someone I'm a waste of time? Sounds like you're eating your own shit there buddy. And who are you to say I don't know history. Do you know me? I know enough history to stand behind my words as truth. Do you not know the history of Germany? Sounds like you are the narrowminded thickheaded nimwit.
Obviously I pinched a nerve with some of you guys but this is truth. I guess some of you guys are too sensitive.
The ad is shit. Bottom line.
Still here, moron?
Look who's talking. I've been here. You're the one who stuck your nose into this. So if anything, why don't you fuck off? Now get lost.
You sad little man. Would love to see your portfolio, filled with crap. Go f**k yourself, nobody else will....
You're still here, moron?
LMAO I got you hooked and baited. No matter what I say now you will try to respond with something stupid. I mean that much to you. Get a life.
OMG gay as well... Find another faggot, faggot.
Wow. You are seriously obsessed with me. Ok seriously, get a life asshole.
I'm throwing the towel. Waving the white flag. Mea culpa. Peace on earth. I can't handle this much ignorance, Ray. You go on then, tell the world that every German was a nazi in WW2. What the heck do you know. I read that the Americans allowed South Korea to execute 100,000 North Koreans in the fifties. Talking about genocide. But hey, this site is about advertising, not politics or history. Leave it. Let's get back to work and make beautiful advertising. Period.
Well I for one am not interested in paying for my grandparents' crimes. I'm not German... in fact, I'm Chinese, and I got a good laugh out of this one.
I don't think it's racist, but it does point at the blatant copying that's undeniably going on in many parts of China as a country (they cloned an entire Disneyland for crying out loud). The pictures in the ad are just few of the many pictures they could use to substantiate that point.
I'm not saying this ad a great idea, but putting it down by saying all Germans are racist is in itself racist.
I don't like this because it depicts China as a place consisting of pirates (who make cheap copies of everything) that don't respect human rights.
Hmmm... when you come to think of it, if they are all pirates, why would they need Human Rights? Wouldn't it be better for West and their companies to let them kill each other? And pronto - no more copying problems (!) -> this signs irony
I don't say I agree with chinese politics (I don't), but this is just insulting and playing to the worst western stereotypes of China.
I think something similar is happening to Americans (I mean USA, sorry to all Latinos), whole world is treating them badly because of Bush politics (which is unfair to the lot of them).
Keep it real (Booyakasha!)
