Those marketing boffins in Germany have outdone themselves by somehow managing to mention Edward Snowden in this lingerie ad

While Edward Snowden might be on the run in a Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego style scheme, there’s at least one company who’ve made pretty decent use of the news about his whistle-blowing.

If you’re not too sure who Edward Snowden is, you can get filled in on all the details right here, but basically he blew the whistle on PRISM, a computer surveillance program that allowed the NSA to get information from all forms of communication, be it email, phone calls, texts, whatever.

Anyway, the German lingerie company Blush has decided to go with this lovely ad, which features their own tip of the hat to the Eddie, telling him that there’s plenty left to uncover.

We’re not sure how thrilled the model in the picture will be with the company’s tag line, she might not even like Edward, but you have to hand it to them, they’ve played this one pretty well.
