Patient Murderers

Criminals in 13th Street Ads Take Their Time

German TV channel 13th Street is back with new murderous ads to promote their Crime Night on Sundays.

While last time the images showed a crime that already took place, this time the ads show the murderers about to commit their act while looking at their watch. The ads communicate that you have to be patient and not worry because the crime won’t happen until showtime at 8:13 PM!

The ads were photographed by Sven Glage for ad agency Jung von Matt/Spree GmbH, Berlin.
