This is a new advert for McDonalds in Finland. People have aparently been consfused, baffled and disgusted by the image and whilst some claim to see fingers, others see teets and some, well, some see male apendages.
What about you? What do you see?

Job Vacancy: Santa’s Elf in Lapland
In Ruka and Kuusamo on May 23, 2011 at 4:07 pmEsprit are looking for some some elves to help out Santa next winter…
Our guests join us in Santa’s Lapland primarily to visit Santa Claus. Elves are only ever seen by our guests as elves, and not in any other capacity. We are looking for fun, lively people to act as these Santa’s Helpers’. Full uniform will be provided.
A comprehensive and constant commitment to the Santa story is essential.
There are four main Elf activities:
1. Elves will be expected to assist Santa Claus during family visits and provide the fun and magical experience at all times whilst ensuring that each family’s individual visit runs as smoothly as possible.
2. Meeting and greeting guests at the airport. Elves will frolic and play in the arrivals hall to welcome guests to Lapland.
3. Elf sightings – time and rotas permitting elves will participate in sightings’.
4. Elves are responsible for ensuring that Santa’s presents are all wrapped and delivered to the Activity Centres.
A fair amount of time will be spent outdoors as well as in Santa’s cabin, the present wrapping area and the airport.
Only committed and responsible applicants with previous experience/training in acting will be considered.
As well as the general skills related to your role you will also be required to assist with other physical duties such as moving snow activity equipment, luggage and snow clearing.
Umm, so that would be mostly frolicking, present wrapping and manual labour, then? Sounds…erm…great.
