Advertising Agency uses German Troops for US Election
October 27, 2010
An Advertising Agency that produced a mailing for state Rep. Tim Spear promoting his support for military service members has issued an apology for using an image of World War II re-enactors depicting German soldiers that shot at American Troops.
On the front of the mailing was, “In combat, you always want another soldier covering your back.”
That’s awesome stuff, show the images of the guys that shot at you rather than your own troops. This is the definition of terrible. The worst part of the whole advertising campaign is that it was designed to show support for our troops, not the troops that shot at our guys.
This is why advertising is in a downward freefall, because the overall IQ at the typical advertising agency is now near bacteria level. They passed on the way down complex life a few years ago.
So go ahead, support the World War II German era troops. Our guys love that… idiots.
