Good ad. Don't know why it's in English though.

Sometimes especially in bigger cities ads for health awareness are in German and English. I have seen this ad in German on the subway but I can imagine it being in English in bigger cities. Ads for public health services or support hotlines are often in German, English, Arabic or whatever expat community is big in a city.

For wider reach, I'd assume. I was thinking this was a translated poster but searching for it it seems like the original campaign was in English (afaik)

E: It was in German

Afaik the original is in German, at least I've only seen this poster in German before.

I guess if you're depressed anyways, you might as well try learning English.

Dunno about now, but when I was a kid in Germany decades ago they started learning English in fifth grade.

Well the obvious answer to your question is: Donde esta el bano?

"I don't negotiate, motherfucker"?

Ah no, sorry, that's "¿donde está la Biblioteca?" 😁

Close enough! Wait, I can use one of the other classic quotes: porque no los does?
