In January 2013 the advertising campaign was featured in Something Awful 's '' Photoshop Phriday '' , where it was turned into a meme . The parodies showed Eastern Poland as a backward place from another planet , drew inspirations from the works of Zdzisław Beksiński and themes such as the Smolensk disaster , the mutant from the 1990 film '' Total Recall '' , implying Poland is a banana republic , among others
