Anti-American Advertising

Sunnex Jeans

"Not made in America. Thankfully."

That is the slogan of the Mumbai jeans brand, Sunnex Jeans.

The slogan is accompanied with powerful statements in the print ads, such as: "America is the police of the world. Don't wear its uniform." and "If you were reading this on a New York street, you would be mugged by now," and "A San Francisco radio station offered a case of canned fruit juice to the family of the one-thousandth person to commit suicide by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge."


Oh, the ad agencies just love America...
