Before a recent football match between Argentina and Brazil (an archrivalry), an Argentinean condom company posted ad to let Brazilians know what will presumably happen to them at the upcoming bout. ![](http://web.mac.com/thebukos/misc/argentinia-ad.jpg) Well, Brazil won the match prompting the Brazillian Football organization to run this ad: ![](http://web.mac.com/thebukos/misc/brazil-ad.jpg) (posted verbatim from here.)

Funny thing...I'm in Typography class.
Maybe I should print it out and bring it in.

Another ad from Brazil, along the same lines... This one is safe, but highly suggestive.
