Right now there's an Art Show titled "New Idols" at the Don Gallery in Milano, Italy. The show features 1980's Pop Icon Sculptures by Francesco De Molfetta. He's done a few that are a parody of E.T., Transformers, Barbie Doll, Superman, etc... Most of them are sort of political & all of them have a lot of humor. This is the one he did of Batman, or I should say, "Fatman", ha! For more info on the event, click HERE!
In a previous post we featured those famous ads appearing in foreign countries for health clubs where it shows various Comic Book Superheroes being all obese or fat. Of course the one with the Batman character was our favorite, ha ha! ( Check out the Bat-Blog Archives ). Well, it's kinda weird but another group of health clubs, located in Brazil, are using the same concept for their advertising. Here's their version of FAT BATMAN with the phrase, "Get Back To Your Glory Days".
If you read some of the main stream magazines you might have seen this advertising already. There's a new series of print ads for the POWER HOUSE HEATH CLUB using parody illustrations of fat obese overweight superheroes. Here's one of FAT BATMAN & they have also done Superman & Spiderman too. The concept was created by the EURO RSCG Advertising Agency from New Delhi, India. The Creative Director: Satbir Singh, Art Director / Copywriter: Gurdev Singh Sidhu, & Illustrator: Gurdev Baljeet. OK, These ads have got a lot of flak because a few crybabies are upset about comic book heroes being fat...DUH! That's the point, ya morons! The idea is to get you to think about being out of shape & joining a health club! Personally I kinda like these ads & think they're both effective & kinda funny. I bet the people in message boards that are crying about these ads are over-weight losers who live in their grandparents basement. Whattya think about that? Whew! Sorry to vent but while researching this story I came across a ton of these whiners who did nothing but nick-pick about all the tiny micro-details of what is wrong with these ads & not praising them for their "advertising quality". They need to get lives. I bet most of them have NEVER kissed a girl, ha ha!
