Offensive Ads of Mahatma Gandhi in Danish Newspaper

| More

“Life is easier, if you don’t speak up”. It is the new ad campaign launched by Advertising Agency Uncle Grey(http://www.uncle.dk/), Aarhus, Denmark under Creative Director- Per Pedersen and Art Director- Jesper Hansen.

The Ads were published in August-2008 but I think it went un-noticed by mass Indians else it would have created a hue and cry among indians. The images of Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Dalai Lama that were published are offensive in nature.

Dalai Lama

The ads were primarily created to promote Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten, a Local Danish Newspaper. You can see Mahatma Gandhi holding a beer bottle and cooking the meat sausages. May I ask Uncle Grey- What kind of message you want to convey.

The Danish news-paper is certainly trying to send across ‘Disrespect’ factor. Earlier the very same agency came into limelight when they created the cartoons of Prophet Mohammad which caused agitations in various part of the world.

Indian government should act promptly and ask public apology from Danish Newspaper for portraying Mahatma Gandhi,Father of Nation, in disrespectful way.

What are your suggestions. Please speak up.

    I dont what was there purpose....but if Gandhi ji would have seen this then he would have sighed that they are using his image to advertise non vegitarian product and alchohol.It shows that they are a commodity of weak minds.
    Educate yourselves...maybe that will lead you to the real idea to advertise.

    Try to catch the person who edited the pic.....then shoot him and burn danish newpaper........

    the disturbed mind of this individual (the editor of this photograph) disgusts me!
  • Just ignore it. They are looking for some free publicity and let us not give them that... A photo in some stupid news paper is not going to affect Gandhji's name and fame in anyway.
  • It's true..but hard to hold back the sentiments.
  • This seems to be the only way they can gain some publicity. Lets not pass this to anyone. They will stop this crap only when they stop getting any reaction.

    It's a cheap publicity stunt
