Starlet
An ad on a local ad newspaper (Bayrisches Taferl 16/2009) in normal newspaper size – complete view1 in the top left, the right and lower parts show enlarged details of the red framed areas. (Click to enlarge.)
My congratulations to the winner of the “Least Readable Asterisk Explanation Text” contest!! 
Update 17:20: Ha, they even got the same offer on their website – here’s the non-selectable text in default size:
At least you can read it without problems when zooming in with the browser – it says the usual about the limited time, extras are extra, can’t be combined with other offers, and the copyright of “Doctor’s Associates Inc.”, who own the SUBWAY® brand.
- except for the other ads that I blurred, that is [↩]

Projekt 52/10: Mass/plentiful
The topic of week 10 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:
Mass/plentiful
Perfect timing:
Scenes from the Hallertauer Messe (6-9 March), a regional trade fair for the masses (in one hall plus open ground), lots of visitors also and especially on Sunday – one highlight for some kids was probably camel riding. Though I don’t really know how that fits to our region…
(And no, I’m not insinuating the visitors were like camels. )
