An advertisement depicting Rio's Christ the Redeemer Statue in bed with the Statue of Liberty has sparked outrage in the Christian community. The advert, which shows the Ukraine International Airlines logo at the bottom, has gone viral and has received much criticism since it was first launched.
Since the poster went viral, however, it has been found that the ad was not even commissioned by the Ukrainian airline company, but was a piece of exploratory work made by creative director Aleksandr Bozhko.After the poster went viral, Ukraine International Airlines claimed on its Twitter account that the ad was fake and was not created or endorsed by the company.
Bozhko has since issued a statement in which he clarified that it is not an ad for UIA and he apologized to the company for any confusion and criticism he had brought on them.
According to Advertisement Journal, the art was intended to be a joke to enter for the "Altai Fake Festival."
