True story:
The Pope
invited me to meet him.
Sorry, next time.
Some context:
We, as Argentinians, love football.
And we’re also proud of having an Argentinian Pope. Francis, or Francisco, for us.
Well. Brazil 2014 World Cup was coming soon. Home of Argentina’s greatest football rival.
We found out that Francis talked for the crowd some months before in Río de Janeiro.
So we took all his videos with his own real words,
and edited them in order to show people that he was actually cheering for Argentina.
And also making fun of Brazilians (In your face, Brazuca!)
Quick note:
We didn’t ask permission to use the Pope’s rights.
So the Vatican got really mad when this spot was launched.
They even showed him our work. Oops.
Repercussions:
Pope Francis loved it.
Actually, he liked it so much, that he invited us to meet him in Vatican City
(before you ask, no, we didn’t go… F*&#!)
In there, he encouraged us to keep going with that same spirit, and not to loose our sense of humour.
Yeah, it’s caught on video. Have a look, if you want.
