A Lebonese restaurant in Dubai launched these ads earlier this year as a way to get fashion conscious consumers (who in Dubai isn't?) to eat their new Friday seafood lunch.

It was known for many things, with its numerous and imaginative calamari dishes being high on the list. It was also the home of the original International Calamari Festival (held in August every year, if I recall correctly).
Anyways, at festival time, besides enjoying the calamari at India Joze, there were numerous squidly things shown or even on sale. (PZ would be in heaven, in a manner of speaking...) Some of the, ah, sillier things were posters(? postcards?) of attractive ladies wearing squids as necklaces--not unlike the images shown in this post.
