Completely off topic. In the 1950s Air France was trying to promote tourism to the Riviera among anglophones. So they came up with a poster featuring a shapely young woman walking along a sunlit beach, taken from astern, with the legend "NICE". When their American travel representatives saw it, they suggested that it might be misinterperted and would not be displayed in American travel agents offices. Air France's advertising agency obligingly changed the legend to "CANNES".
