Sexy Polish plumber to woo French
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The Polish tourist agency in Paris has posted a picture of a sexy Polish plumber in an attempt to entice French visitors to the country, as well as to poke fun at the negative stereotypes surrounding Polish workers in France.
The image, which apppeared on the agency's homepage on Wednesday (15 June), shows a muscly hunk in overalls brandishing a suggestive grey pipe at groin level, with scenes of Polish mountains and waterfalls in the background.
The legend "Welcome to Poland" [or "I am staying in Poland, come on over"] appears in the top left hand-side corner.
"This is not an official Polish campaign, we just did it as a joke as there has been a lot of talk about Polish plumbers during the recent referendum [on the constitution]", a source at the tourism bureau said.
She added, "We have had a lot of reactions to it already, most of them in good humour".
