After spotting this "Bareback In Brazil" travel ad seen throughout San Francisco, SFist contacted LAN Airline for their side of the story. Much to our surprise, that said they had nothing to do with the double-entendre advertising campaign. Megan Haney, a spokesperson for LAN, explains: "The advertisements were published without our approval and the point of view, choice of wording and use of the LAN Airlines logo was done without our consent. We have asked that the advertisements be removed immediately."
How odd.
When asked about the creative minds behind the posters, we weren't given a direct answer; however, LAN told us they will "address the issue with the relevant parties to ensure that this does not happen again."
LAN Airline's specialty is gay-friendly travel to South America destinations. Most recently, they served as official international airline for San Francisco Pride 2010.
