I'd invade Russia for a decent slice of pizza! 

Comments:2   Add your comment

There's no telling what those Kiwi's will get up to after a few pints of "Leopard Piss." (That's the locals name for New Zealand's best selling beer, Leopard Lager) So you can either admire or cringe at the nerve of the "Cinderella" Ad Agency in Auckland. 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!

Brilliant client they are. Well done Cinderella. But as a Kiwi I have never heard of Leopard Larger?? Do you mean Lion Red? The everymans beer preferably brought in 18 bottles or 30 cans.
