Hehe, I love this. Of course the marketing team and photographer knew what they were doing - they just wanted to see what they could get away with, as technically it could be completely innocent. Hehehe, well done them, the publicty I'm sure will do them no harm. Though I still don't fancy going to Portsmouth...

Haha, I love that this has cause outrage - and that the photographer and publicity people didn't (or perhaps more intriguingly did..?) notice the, er, interesting angle of the shot.

Hey perhaps there is a lot of history in Portsmouth on that subject more then we think.
I mean 'Ports' then 'Mouth'!!! Cumon, it's not a complete coincident, right.

This is pretty funny. Of course it is not intentional, but it is a pretty good marketing strategy nevertheless.

This gets funnier the more I look at it, I can't believe for a second that they planned it this way but the error is brilliant!

This is brilliant, and wrong, both at the same time!
I used to live in Portsmouth and had friends that worked at the Dockyard, I don't know if they'd vouch that this kind of behaviour goes on though...
Surely the marketing team must've realised.
