aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, I'm nooot quiiiite suuuurrreeeee...

I guess I wouldn't be much hungry thinking that I would eat Madre Teresa's shaped potatoes.

juliangray's picture 1003 pencils

dunno catolics eat their god every sunday... so i think canibalism in this case is good.

I mean if jesus can turn into a cracker why not madre teresa in a potatoe?

copycomoelcopi's picture 832 pencils

massdebater's picture 28 pencils

Ravages... then pls explain wht mother teresa do.

creative420's picture 286 pencils

Don't mean this.. but isn't it ironical to see this work coming from the nation which produced the most hated person ever.. Poor.

tipptapp's picture 135 pencils

Sorry, that's not 100% correct: Austria "produced" him, Germany just let him grow...

Minimum's picture 1496 pencils

How can you compare something that happend almost 60 years ago with an advertisement. just because it is from that country. That just makes no sense at all.

Hmm... ?!

x-men's picture 340 pencils

It's sad. I used to like Jung Von Matt Advertising.

Have Heart's picture 922 pencils

Not outstanding, but okay. The comment by Creative420 is out of place anyway.

justpassingby's picture 1372 pencils

thats right, take the piss out of a dead person by drawing thier face on a flipping potato. If i was Teresas family i wouldnt appreciate this.
ps. in terms of advertising, this sucks big ass too. Germans should stay away from trying to do funny ads

addyhoch10's picture 2599 pencils

i bet you aren't teresa's family so cool down a bit. try to breathe slow. hfffffffffffff-ffhhhhhhhhhh. this is just an ad. whether you like it or not - no reason to get nasty.
you can do your kraut bashing in your local.

justpassingby's picture 1372 pencils

sorry, bad day.

justpassingby's picture 1372 pencils

sorry, bad day.

teenie's picture 1906 pencils

Oh no - that's just...wrong. It's supposed to be funny but it's just playing on the "good" by exploitng someone who did good deeds. Personally, I think Monther Theresa should only be used to promote good in the world; aything else is in bad taste (no pun intended).

justpassingby's picture 1372 pencils

andd why have they given her a nose that looks like an arse?

ChuckNorris's picture 836 pencils

its funny.

and mother teresa's family isnt gonna say anything, because she didn't have any. she was a nun.

justpassingby's picture 1372 pencils

chucknorris, you must be german or you may have some german blood.
are nuns not allowed to have sisters, brothers, cousins?

ChuckNorris's picture 836 pencils

what does being german have to with anything?

I just think this ad is funny, and that it doesn't offend anyone.

and no, I am the farthest one can be from being german. I'm from brazil.

melocoton's picture 989 pencils

This is ridiculous and fun, I like it

bfrosty's picture 102 pencils

I think its a cool way to illustrate the point. Cheesy? Yes.

But effective nonetheless.

Its possible this is a terribly good ad.

juliangray's picture 1003 pencils

ok, teresa bealived in fisical punishment, poberty, suffering of the ill and recived founds from cuestioned people.

gandhi was a pedophile with an enema fetiche.

the dalailama was a facist that had a monarquic regime in tibet with thousands of slaves, and does everything in his reach to get that regime back. I guess is easy to be peacefull when you just have to do that.

Ok, it has nothing to do with the campaing cos these are by the mayority as references of "good" but still wanted to say it.

addyhoch10's picture 2599 pencils

i agree.
don't really like the term "good" in reference to persons. it's a human want to divide the world into good and bad. and for famous people, it's either angel or demon. in the end, it always depends on which side you're on.

anyway, this ad's not trying to be profound, but funny, in a cheesy kind of way. so i think it doesn't really matter.

tjb1970's picture 474 pencils

i like the thinking on these, certainly an interesting approach to selling a potato dish, but i agree that these figures are somewhat controversial. not everyone sees them all as 'good', which could get in the way of your message. they would certainly stand out here in america where most food product advertising is just plain awful.

ellehcimeo's picture 3534 pencils

Borrowed interest. Might as well made the potato look like a baby.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

...or My Little Pony.
Hi Bella. :)

Not sold on execution.
