Family photo turns up in Czech ad

It's an international mystery: How did a Missouri family's Christmas card photo end up in the Czech Republic, splashed across a huge storefront advertisement?

Danielle Smith said Wednesday that the photo taken of her family last year got sent to family and friends, and was posted on her blog and a few social networking sites. The photo showed her and her husband Jeff holding their two young children.

About 10 days ago, one of Smith's college friends was driving through Prague when he spotted their huge smiling faces in the window of a store specializing in European food. He snapped a few pictures and sent them to a flabbergasted Smith.

"It's a life-size picture in a grocery store window in Prague -- my Christmas card photo!" said Smith, 36, who lives in the St. Louis suburb of O'Fallon.

Hey Czech Republic, ever heard of asking or paying a Czech family to pose for your ad?

They should pay the family for illegal use of their photo.

Mom looks fairly hot, I'd **** her.

Probably uploaded the pictures under a creative common license...losers.

Actually, that's unlikely, still funny thought.

She posted the pic on her blog and several social networking sites what privacy did they spoil? Ive read other articles where the mother is mystified as to how her pictures got across the Atlantic guess she doesnt know that the internet is sometimes referred to as the WORLD WIDE WEB.

You can make the argument that their likenesses were being used for profit without their consent, but I can't agree that their privacy was violated.
