Didn't mean to insult the US Government. The model comes from istockphoto and (I think) costs about $20 for the right to use. I'm not a big Photoshop user, but the bottle looked "fake" to me as in photoshopped into the model's chest. The outline was thick, it appeared to me that it was simply placed into the picture with little "blending" done.

I said nothing was "made up". In fact, I was only speaking of the ad with the "topless" model. I gave someone (I don't think it was the US Government) credit for a clever idea. I just am not impressed with the execution. So please don't try to make this about the label or anything else.

I leave it to each to judge the professionalism of the model ad, however it is my hope that if it ever does make it to a print ad or poster, someone works on it further.

I did find it a little odd that Old Timer posted it from your photobucket account.
