if you didn't know and if you read a bit more Colombia is no longer the main producer of cocaine. that was when the medellin cartel was around douring the 90's that is long gone. I invite you to visit colombia and see for yourself.

It's Colombia. NOT Columbia

You can't even spell the name of the country right? And you think you are qualified to comment on it?! Get a clue.

Nice work by Colombia's PR agency.

Weird how this site has brought out the Colombian government's PR guns to tell us how pure and holy everything is there. "nope, no coke here boss. not at all, boss. sho'nuf, boss." What crap.

I only see the ones complaining about Colombia, not much else.
Sadly this is the only thing most people think when Colombia is brought up
but i don't think the USA is the only place that it's being exported to as well

These are Fakes

I can smell a photoshop from a mile away and I hate to tell you, but these flags have been 'shopped'. I know because I am an expert.

Oh okay. Cause *thats* the

Oh okay. Cause *thats* the point of activist art. To *not* be photoshopped. LoL...dumbass.

Let see how many we can get bitching

Also i wouldn't mind seeing the fact Coffee is a main export and they make some pretty good cigars too! This is just a funny joke and someone's view. Don't take it so literal.

"Fakes?"

What do you mean? They're obviously simple pieces of art. Your comment makes no sense at all. Yeah, maybe the flags were painted over a texture using PS. So? You're not getting the point.

And I think this is a pretty interesting campaign.

niceee

hahaha, nicely done

This is very good stuff

Can't wait for more. Very Nice!

Mark you really are a pin head, dont make any more comments.
Anonymos(These are Fakes) you really are an expert at being a douche bag.
Who gives two craps about Iran-do they even have a flag?
Donnelly, put the Guinness down and step away from the computer!

Sly- right on, man.

bitchy people

wow bitchy people
if i spell somalia wrong do you think any one would care about genital mutilation what a shame.

Best sex I've ever had.

The Best Educational Method

This is very much on the vein of 'if the world were a village of 100 people'. When I first read that it changed my whole perspective on wealth and where I stand and where I care to stand on that spectrum. This is very much the same. I really believe this approach to spreading the message of the crisis of poverty in the world is the best approach to changing hearts and minds.

this is awesome~!!!!

I'm assuming that there's no

I'm assuming that there's no one in Brazil who lives on between $1000 a month and $100,000 a month - or would that not make the flag so pretty. Without that figure it's kind of meaningless

Interesting, but...

We are all guilty, like it or not...

Disregard all my comments. I

Disregard all my comments. I suck cocks.

green on American flag...

And the color green on the American flag symbolizes how many people in the U.S. give a crap about the sport of soccer.

ITS JUST MAKING FUN!

Hey everyone, just stand back and take a breath. the artist is only using a mixture of stereotypes and political satire. Its just showing that there are problems around the world. Just laugh and think of the time it took. None of your names are on this as the authors. So none of you could be that inspirational. It is an awesome piece even if it was not a multi million dollar advertisement. Please do not curse at me if i misspelled anything.

crazy

lol.. americans and latins... fucking douchebags... continue fighting.. please!

I like turtles
