you're missing it. this ad series hits in duesseldorf, because, as any german male knows, any chance you get to pimp yourself in your underwear is a head-up on all the other yuppy scum ...
plus, its a very clear 'riff off America', and this might surprise you, but that also hits in germany, although not always for the clear 'reasons' you might think ..
In what way is this ad campaign (? or do you simply mean these particular posters?) a "riff of America"?
My [albeit limited] experience is that D
