Marci and I are traveling in Poland this week.  We've been spending most of our time in conference sessions, but today we got to tour picturesque Krakow a bit.  We saw some magnificent buildings and an incredibly unique network of underground caverns and cathedrals within the old salt mines.  But perhaps my greatest amusement of the day came from seeing a number of billboards advertising for an electronics store called Media Markt.  Take a look at a (rather poor-quality) picture of the billboard here below:

What do you think of the spokesperson pictured?  Is it supposed to be male or femaile?  A child or an adult?  And what exactly is he wearing?  Gym shorts (very high and tight) with a pastel-striped polo shirt?  And could it be that his (her?) legs are actually shaved?  And why is this person advertising for Media Markt?  Is he supposed to be kind of cool, or kind of geeky and funny?  What could possibly be the meaning of this advertisement?

For the heck of it, we used an on-line translator to try and decipher what the text might mean.  The result:  "I gave everything of himself... but it has only birthday price."

Perhaps this is not even remotely amusing to anyone else -- but I figured I had to put it up on the ol' blog for my own enjoyment, if nothing else. :-)
