Adidas pull Luis Suarez Copacabana ad after it turns into a tourist attraction

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/adidas-pull-luis-suarez-copacabana-ad-after-it-turns-into-a-tourist-attraction-181901484-soccer.html

While Luis Suarez is in Uruguay after being handed a nine-game and four-month ban from soccer, that doesn't mean that FIFA has been able to remove every bit of Suarez's image from the areas surrounding the World Cup. Case in point: an Adidas advertisement in Copacabana that turned into a tourist attraction in the days after his suspension.

With an enraged expression and an open mouth that places plenty of prominence on Suarez's teeth, the advertisement is untimely, and gave soccer fans a golden opportunity to take a photo to upload to their Instagram account.
