Hugh Pickens writes "The Telegraph reports that Jeff and Danielle Smith sent a photo of themselves with their two young children to family and friends as a Christmas card, and posted the image on her blog and a few social networking websites. Then, last month, a friend of the Smiths was vacationing in the Czech Republic when he spotted a full size poster of the Missouri family's smiling faces in the window of a local supermarket in Prague advertising a grocery delivery service. The friend snapped a few pictures and sent them to the flabbergasted Smiths. "It's a life-size picture in a grocery store window in Prague — my Christmas card photo!" says Danielle Smith. Mario Bertuccio, who owns the Grazie store in Prague, admitted that he had found the photo online but thought it was computer-generated and promised to remove it. "We'll be happy to write an e-mail with our apology," says Bertuccio. Meanwhile Mrs. Smith has received 180,000 visitors and over 500 comments on her blog since she posted the story and says she is glad the photo wasn't used in an unseemly manner. "Interesting. Bizarre. Flattering, I suppose," writes Mrs. Smith. "But quite creepy.""
