Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

You can either admire or cringe at the nerve of the "Cinderella" Ad Agency in Auckland New Zealand. They just ran a campaign for "Hell" pizzas that showed Adolf Hitler making a salute with a slice of the cheese pie. After locals protested, the company has replaced Hitler -- with Pope Benedict XVI saying Hell is real and eternal!" The agency also raised a storm of controversy among Catholics and others last year with its campaign for seven pizzas named after the seven deadly sins. To advertise its "lust" pizza, the company mailed condoms to potential customers. "That was the most controversial ad campaign that we've ever done," the agency president said. No kidding!

With extra cheese!
