German Lingerie Brand "Blush" Using Edward Snowden In Advertisements

U.S. informant Edward Snowden received a mention in an unlike place: a German lingerie ad.

The execution, above, is a pretty juvenile play on the word "uncover." If you're looking for clever commentary on PRISM or the NSA, you'll have to look elsewhere. (Blush Lingerie's Facebook Page goes a bit further, adding: "Dear Edward, take good care! We are with you!&quot

Give the lingerie line some credit, though. In an age in which brands often take part in the ongoing social media conversation, Blush is one of the few to comment one of the year's biggest stories. Denny's took a similarly sophomoric approach to the news.

The ad is clever, I like blush lingerie's style, both figuratively and literally.
