Found that one on a recent root through my yet-to-be-sorted photos. I dedicate this picture to a number of people I've met throughout my life. I know where you live now!
Nice lesson in truth in advertising in today's “Der Bund”
There's an advert, printed in blue, which pollutes the whole page with its colour. The text of the advert: “Some facts about oil, for a change”. So… possible interpretations: “Oil pollutes far beyond expectations”, “Pollution doesn't stop at borders”, “Oil pollutes more than the industry has paid for”… I'm open for additional suggestions…

I know, I know.
Advert of an unspecified Airline. I wonder what exactly the tours they offer involve. It's slightly disturbing that the image shows a camel, though…
From TSA: Prohibited Items!
We encourage everyone to pack gel-filled bras in their checked baggage.
Hmmm… I don't have any gel filled bras. Better stock up before my next trip.
