It can be found anywhere advertising images are a part of the landscape. Advertising as it is practiced today (and maybe it always has been; I don't know) is about promising a better existence in return for buying a product. In short, it's a lie. The image above shows the gap between the real person on the bicycle, living in the real word-a-day world, and the make believe person in the much more comfortable, happy make believe world of consumer satisfaction. It doesn't really matter all that much that the advertisement is Western and the scene is Afghanistan. It could just as well be Chicago, New York, or Detroit. Advertising is not concerned very much with political boundaries. The lie works everywhere.
