" Dutch outraged as South Africa charges women over beer babe stunt THE DUTCH Government has blasted South Africa for arresting and charging two Dutch women who organised an "ambush marketing" stunt at a World Cup match. The incident involved 36 women who were dressed in short orange dresses at the Netherlands v Denmark game, apparently to promote Dutch beer. Police have questioned the two organisers on suspicion of conducting "unlawful commercial activities". "It is outrageous that the two women have a jail term hanging over their heads for wearing orange dresses in a football stadium," Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen said. "If South Africa or FIFA wants to take a company to task for an illegal marketing action, they should start judicial procedures against the company and not against ordinary citizens walking around in orange dresses." The two women will face Johannesburg Magistrates Court later today charged with offences under the Contravention of the Merchandise Marks Act and two sections of the Special Measures Regulations. Colonel Vishnu Naidoo, spokesman for South African police, said: "In layman's terms, they are charged with committing Ambush Marketing." Colonel Naidoo denied the charges followed mounting pressure from the world soccer body FIFA. The incident was "criminal" under South Africa's various merchandising laws, he said. The charges came after former Jamaican international soccer pundit Robbie Earle was fired from his job with UK broadcaster ITV for abusing his ticket allowance to give the group of blondes access to the game. FIFA said the women were "used by a large Dutch brewery as an instrument for an ambush marketing campaign", although the dresses had only a small tag with the beer's brand on them. The orange dresses they wore were sold with Bavaria Beer packs in the Netherlands in the run-up to the World Cup. The Dutch embassy in Pretoria had asked South African authorities "about the grounds on which our citizens were held", Dutch foreign ministry spokesman Aad Meijer said. "We are not aware of any South African legislation that allows people to be detained for wearing an orange dress." Budweiser, an official sponsor, is the only beer company allowed to advertise within the stadiums. FIFA fiercely protects its marketing interests, which are a major cash spinner for the organization.

"From the AP: The women are being prosecuted under the Contravention of Merchandise Marks Act which covers ambush marketing, when a company benefits from an event without paying for advertising. South African police arrested the women at their hotel in the Johannesburg district of Roodepoort on Wednesday. “We view ambush marketing in a very serious light and we urge people not to embark on these ambush campaigns,” police said in a statement. The women appeared at Johannesburg Magistrates Court and were released on bail of 10,000 rand ($1,300) each, with their next court appearance set for Monday. "

I mean, the law is the law, but just from those pictures you can't tell what beer they are advertising or that they're advertising anything at all (other than their bodies).
