The image plays on the traditional Finnish "Elovenatyttö", the Elovena maiden, which symbolizes a traditional view on Finnishness among other things. Replacing the golden haired woman with a negroid is supposedly a very daring and progressive statement of some sort. Finnish activists however wrote to Raisio, the company that created and uses the elovenatyttö, and asked them if this was not misuse of their brand. Raisio then managed to have the abhorrent 'statement' removed.

Well done!
