Many years ago the Chicago Sun-Times would routinely draw bra-straps over the backs of ladies in movie ads. The problem came when an ad for an Icelandic Viking movie named in the US Hagbard and Signe. The intrepid couple is shown embracing without shirts on their bed, so the paper drew in the bra-strap. On Hagbard, the Viking warrior, not Signe, his comely sweetheart. Of course they both had long hair and were blond, so the mistake is perhaps understandable.
