You know, you shouldn’t really trust the photographs in your magazines. I have seen lots of pictures of cute girls in Singapore magazine 8 Days or local tabloid The New Paper. They’re on the pages begging you to call them at a 1900 number. You think you’ll really be calling the girl on the photographs? Dream on! You’ll probably end up calling the inconsiderate auntie who hangs her wet clothes outside the apartment above yours. Yeah, she’ll report that she’s sweet seventeen (with a sore throat) or something.
I always wonder if they had gotten those images from Japanese pornography websites. Maybe she’s just a lingerie model or lesser-known celebrity from Taiwan.
_(This photo shows a blond girl next to the slogan: “Deutsch ist Geil!” or “German is Hot!”)_
A german magazine, Objektiv, got into bad press after they feature a photograph of a girl with the text – German is Hot.
German right-wing extremists had hoped to lure teenagers to their cause in Cologne with a new youth magazine. The nationalists even had an ad with an attractive young girl next to the slogan: “German is Hot!” The only problem? The model turned out to be a Czech erotic model.
…the photo in question is of an attractive blond in a tank top and short skirt next to the slogan: “German is Hot!” But in an embarrassing faux pas for the German nationalists, it now it turns out that the Teutonic hottie is actually a Czech lingerie model. So much for offering a “free-patriotic point of view,” as was supposedly the remit of the less-than-objective Objektiv.

See! These people don’t give a damn where the girl comes from. I doubt the local magazines or newspapers bother to check if the models on advertisements are gotten from some teen who regularly jerks off at some Japanese websites.
Well, speaking of images, take a look at this amazingly huge piece of pixel art.

Just so you know geil also translates into horny in English. That might also be why the magazine got into bad press. I’m sure then they cleared it up that they meant hot and not horny, because “German is horny just doesn’t make sense
