Kia took out an ad in yesterday's London Times that read, "Oh well, at least our warranty beats the Germans." Nissan pitched its GT-R model with an ad in yesterday's London Sun with the headline, "One match the Germans didn't win." A Kia spokesperson claims that the automaker was "ready, whether England won or lost."

LARGER THAN LIFE: The GUARDIAN's Mark Sweney reports Nike "just unveiled a campaign on Africa's largest digital advertising screen on a 30-story building in Johannesburg, which displays messages sent by fans via Facebook and Twitter that will appear alongside digital images of football stars signed to the brand." All of the messages, "which appear on a digital screen 44 metres by 42 metres, are pre-vetted by Nike to make sure the content is acceptable." Two other sides of the building "feature 90 metre tall images" of Portugal MF Cristiano Ronaldo and Brazil F Robinho that "combined are big enough to cover an area the size of an entire football pitch." Fans can send a message to "any one of 50 Nike-sponsored athletes with 100 chosen each night to appear" (GUARDIAN, 6/22).
