French Sock Ad in Metro Stations


I was wondering if any of you out there remember seeing an advertisement for socks plastered on many Metro billboards throughout the year 2000. Evidentally it was a play on a scene from the movie 'Contempt'. The ad features a young looking woman, lying on her stomach, dressed in only socks and panties, feet in the air, and an older, disconcerned man sitting reading the paper. The print reads, 'et mes chaussettes, tu les aimes aussi?' to which he replies, 'oui, aussi' (And my socks, you like them too? Yes, as well). I haven't been back to France since and obviously the ads are gone now. I've been trying to find a photo of this online, but the only thing I found specifically on this billboard was some sort of a public forum where the author is protesting this ad in public places!
