NSA leaker Edward Snowden found an unlikely admirer today: German lingerie company Blush Berlin.

His ongoing scandal has been whimsically adapted into advertising materials by the intimates line, which used playful promotional slogans including “Dear Edward Snowden, there’s still a lot to uncover,” and “Dear NSA, intimates—don’t spy them, buy them,” as Mashable originally reported. The catchphrases are presented alongside scantily clad women publicizing the brand’s undergarments.

Blush Berlin publicly expressed their feelings for Snowden via Facebook, releasing two images and a romanticized letter:

“Dear Edward Snowden, Instead of hanging around in Moscow or Ecuador, why don't you come to blush Berlin? We offer you the best asylum you can have. We have a bed and champagne. And we really treat the intimates of other people with great care.”
