If you've been to Grand Central today, you'll have seen the giant posters promoting investment in Germany and starring supermodel Claudia Schiffer. Not to be outdone, England has commissioned its own ad, starring native supermodel Naomi Campbell. You'll find it after the jump.

that's funny...when i was in london a couple of months ago, i could have sworn the brits' defense against the schiffer ad campaign was to draw nipples and dicks all over the posters in the tube stations.
What I really admire about the Naomi ad is its subtlety.
Looks like there are already a couple of "pasties" on the germany ad anyway. Bring on the nipples!
I'd make a snarky comment about the Naomi ad, but I'd like to keep my ass just the way it is, thank you very much.
"Wot did you say? Where? Gawkah? Those bloody bitches are going to pay!"
I know of some "ideas" that came from Germany that I would rather not invest on, Claudia.
I would like to have an example of Germany's ideas, please. (I'm assuming they don't mean THAT one.)
Is Claudia Schiffer the best clebrity that the Germans have to promote investing? I actually think that the Chairman of Daimler Chrysler, "Dr. Z", would be a better representative. He's proven to be rather funny and eloquent in the new chrysler commercial. The tradition of Iacocca lives on.
