funny or unusual sign

In the back you can see part of the Bochum prison, with one of the observation towers in the corner.
Couldn´t resist to capture this advertising in front of it.
They have a number of different images in their current advertising campaign. So it may be on purpose that they placed this special one here.
But I think it´s just an unusual coincidence.

For others taking part in the challenge:

I like the urbaness here, the tones and shot in shot feel. V.

Excellent idea !!!

Don't think it's a coincidence either. Great find for our challenge and nice work too!

Interesting find and yes, strangely placed.

great advertisement! and a great composition, Werner!
(the cigarette producers must be very happy with Germany, when they still allow these kind of advertisements)

Breakout!

In the old days they used to walk a mile! :) V

that's amazing... in France you can't advertise cigarettes for ages... therefore this looks to me as out of another world...
Brenda06-Mar-2012 21:19
Very funny! Great find and I love your selective coloring.

I think they're telling them escape is as dangerous as smoking :)) Advertising of cigarettes has been completely banned here for many years...so it's unusual for me to see this !!
Kerry Tingley06-Mar-2012 19:00
Oh my! Great find!

Great find - the placement is so funny, intentional or not.
Laryl06-Mar-2012 15:09

Jumping back into his cell? ;)
Great & humorous discovery Wernere!
Sheila06-Mar-2012 10:26
LOL! Well seen Werner!
Yvonne06-Mar-2012 09:23
I like how you repeated the sign & the presentation Werner - the sign certainly fits the topic well!

Great find, I think that the bill poster has a good sense of humour.

Cigarette advertising is not allowed in NZ now. And No smoking in prisons or hospitals and all commercial buildings. And they are trying to stop it in the streets now. For one who has never smoked it doesn't worry me at all
I do like the sense of humour here.
