Sunpoint Sonnenstudios
This is a billboard in Trier, Germany, for Sunpoint Sonnenstudios, a German chain of tanning salons. The billboard doesn't really show anything except a bit of butt on the guy and girl on the right, but even that would never be seen in America.
This 1997 commercial goes further. Butts are full-on, except for the second guy. Still, the family jewels are concealed.
Or are they? We may not see the second guy's butt, but with the magic of frame-by-frame viewing, we see something else when he moves his hand away.
And in the final fade-out, the first guy is dimly revealed, too.
A final comment: both the billboard and the commercial say "Styled by Sunpoint" in English, and in the commercial they sing "styled by the sun" in English, even though both the billboard and the commercial were made for Germans. Even this German company's name, Sunpoint, is English (in German it would be Sonnenpunkt). We Americans tend not to realize how ubiquitous the English language has become all over the world, partly through the influence of American movies and popular songs. Luckily, the Germans have not been influenced by the prudish American attitude toward nudity.

Very beautiful butts!
I recall being in Europe many years ago when French or German meant you'd be golden traveling around. It is nice that English is now so widespread but remember that residents do appreciate that visitors at least try to learn some key phrases.
