Norway for Natural Reasons
Yesterday we saw the photo above – a guy standing naked on the Kjeragbolten, a rock wedged between two cliffs above a fjord near Stavanger, Norway, with a drop of over 3000 feet on each side. Should naked images like this only be shared among friends and never be viewed by the public?
The Norway Convention Bureau thought otherwise. This organization promotes Norway as a place to hold conferences and conventions. They added the words "Norway for natural reasons", above, and ran the ad in industry publications, touting Norway as a good place to hold a conference.
At the International Congress and Convention Association meeting in 2009, this won an award for the year's best ad.
Above is another version of the ad.
And they used the image online, too. Above is the first page of a pdf promoting Norway ...
and after many pages touting Norway, it ends with the page above. You can view the pdf online here: Norway - Powered by Nature

And to think the U.S. is so puritanical, we can't even see a bulge in an ad for men's underwear.
Facebook of full of bulges. Check out Hunter Bigham. He's married to a gay porn star.
@RockHard - True, but whkattk is talking about ads, where the U.S. is puritanical, unlike Norway.
I'd be too nervous to stand on that rock.
