Why does Europe get all the good ads?

Faded supermodel Claudia Schiffer is being featured in ads promoting investment in her native Germany. Not to be outdone, Gawker reports my idol Naomi Campbell is the star of a brilliant new ad campaign from the British government.






















Great, now I'm wondering if I can afford to dip into my student loan money for a vacation to London. Damn you Naomi and your compelling ad copy! As if it wasn't enough that I'm having boatloads of surgery in the hopes that someday I'll also be pretty enough to get away with beating down my enemies with only my bejeweled phone.

In a marginally related story, Gawker freelance graphic artist Lola Rubenstein was found bludgeoned to death outside the Starbucks on the corner of Broadway and Reade.
