Sooo here I am at work, surfing the web when I came across this story…
Apparently this lovely family took a picture (above left) for their annual Christmas card and posted it on their blog for friends and family to enjoy.
THEN their friends just happen to be going through Prague and saw their friend’s family photo blown up on a storefront window (above right)!
Evidently, the people that made the ad just snatched their picture with no permission and featured it in a local grocery store advertisement.
“What are the chances this small family in St. Louis, USA will see this??” is probably what they were thinking :P Think Again!
Anyway the family had their picture removed and the store apologized.
Let this be a lesson to everyone! If you’re an ad agency purchase your pictures-don’t be cheap and steal other peoples….and if you’re one of those people that would NOT like their family photos featured in ads in Prague or elsewhere, place a watermark on your photo as a quick fix!
