Well that is twisted. Way to drum up business. If that was here some moron would get his Darwin award and the family would sue the advertiser.

Granted, English is a widely spoken language in Europe, but does anyone else think it is little odd for a German company to use English as the dominant language for an advert?

Another might be a big red button that says "DANGER - DO NOT PUSH !"

KDP -- maybe a little odd, but not odd enough to make me think the ad isn't real, given the specific info about the ad agency responsible for it.

Am I the only one who thought of Jay and the Americans?

Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long



The hero runs away from that big man Jose. A hero I can identify with.
