Dude Sets Up Fake Site. Sells Ads on Animals, Beaches, Hookers

Fed up with seeing advertising everywhere, Dutch design student Raoul Balai set up a fake agency which offers advertising on animals, in churches, in the middle of songs, on beaches and, yes, on the bodies of hookers. Using images of animals at the Amsterdam Soo, Balai photoshopped ads onto the animals as well as onto the horizon of a beach, the windows of churches and onto the bodies of random lingerie-clad women. Balai explained his effort saying, "I was getting sick and tired of advertising everywhere. But I don't want to preach, and I thought satire would work better." It did until the Amsterdam Zoo caught wing of Balai's work and had its lawyers slap Balai with a defamation suit. Yes, it's official again. No one in the entire world has has even the smallest sense of humor anymore.
