In the customs line at Heathrow we saw this leggy ad reading “I love Italian shoes.”
And then we blinked. What’s that logo in the upper left-hand corner? Is that a wide-open, heart-shaped pair of legs? Then we understood. If crotch shots keep Britney in the public eye, why not use the same method to promote the quality of Italian footwear?
The logo and ads are brought to you by ANCI, the National Association of Italian Footwear Manufacturers. The ad we saw (and hastily snapped for posterity) goes on to say, “The words ‘Made in Italy’ are a guarantee of fine Italian-crafted shoes.”
Who are we to say a quality product can’t open wide every once in awhile?
