Bloody man

This ad is quite scary if you don't know what it's for. It was launched today in the UK, the day of England's last game in round 1 of the World Cup -- vs. Sweden. It ended in a 2-2 tie and both teams go to the round of 16 (or in German, the achtelfinale). The man in the photo is Wayne Rooney of the English team.

Germany and Ecuador advanced to the achtenfinale earlier today. Go Germany!

Found this info on the Welcome to Optimism site. It's a great site if you're interested in advertising and marketing.

From afar, it looks like an ad for Bodyworlds. Except for the guy still has skin.

And without the paint he looks like a butcher.;)
Sophzilla, may I correct you? It's Achtelfinale. Hope you don't mind.
And thanks for keeping the fingers crossed for the team!

Thanks for the correction!

These ultra-white-skinned (and sun-burned) Englishmen won't win a Blumentopf at the WM, believe me! ;-) Ecuador rulez!

They might win if there was a prize for sunburn! You'd think that they'd use a little sunscreen.
