Jesters pie receives Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis in new campaign via Meerkats, Perth
In an effort to prove that their new pie, Meatballius Maximus, is truly authentically Italian, Jesters and Perth agency Meerkats decided to see if it would pass the ultimate test – being blessed by the Most Holy Father himself.
After much research, several meetings and a few prayers, they are proud to announce that Meatballius Maximus has indeed received an Apostolic Blessing from the Vatican.
Blessed items cannot be sold, but Jesters can, however sell you a regular Meatballius Maximus, which is exactly the same (authentic Italian meatballs with traditional napolitana sauce, garlic, basil, mornay sauce and tasty melted cheese, wrapped in Jesters’ famous flaky pastry), except much fresher.
Says Rikki Burns, CD of Meerkats, “We’re always looking for creative ways to help our clients stand out. It was kind of the Pope to give us a hand.”

I don’t understand?
They’re not blessed but the poster says they were seriously blessed?
Which one?
The meat pie has been blessed. The seriously bit at the bottom means they’re being serious about the whole thing. It’s best to read the poster again 👍🏾
Why would any brand want to be associated with the corrupt, disgraced, pedophile-ridden Catholic church? Defies belief.
Bit rich coming from the pure, clean and holy world of advertising which has never had any issues with drug use, alcohol abuse, fraud, bullying, sexism, bigotry, sexual harassment/assault, ageism…
Pie,
Using this teddy bear, show me where the Pope ‘blessed’ you.
Italy and The Vatican are two separate nations.
The Pope isn’t Italian either.
Back to primary school with you then.
