We already have sports clubs exclusively for men and women. Why not a sports club for Catholics? This ad for the Christian sports club DJK Hamburg claims "Even Jesus didn’t walk alone all the time. Join us!"
As a Catholic, I know we have many things to feel guilty about; now we can feel guilty for not exercising. The ad was created by advertising agency Grabarz & Partner, Hamburg, Germany with creative direction from Martin Graß, Djik Ouchiian and Thorsten Sievering. The copy was written by Max Benrath.
