Heineken gives in to fundamentalists

what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander! Yesterday Muslims, Christians today…

Dutch beer maker Heineken has withdrawn all advertising from a Spanish Network. They did so after receiving various complaints about the satirical religious show Salvados por la Iglesia (Saved by the Church) of Sexta TV.
In the show there was a scene in which the Pope was given a plastic guitar. A guitar is regarded as a holy object by many Spaniards. Isn’t this terrible? So rude!

Christians in Spain saw it as a great opportunity to feel aggrieved. They organized an online petition urging all advertisers to stop doing business with the Network. The petition collected 17,000 signatures.

Heineken is the first to stop advertising on Sexta TV. The official statement ”Respect for the religion is our highest priority.” My bad, I thought brewing beer was…

I’m sick and tired of those companies that give in to fundamentalists. But what I can I do, boycotting Heineken is not an option…

Zwanenberg and Friesland Foods support terrorism

Zwanenberg and Friesland Foods support terrorismLast week Dutch companies have given into a Jordanian boycott. The companies Zwanenberg and Friesland Foods have placed advertisements in Jordan newspapers saying they oppose the film Fitna by politician Geert Wilders.

The Messenger of Allah Unites Us, which had already mounted a boycott of Danish products because of the fantastic Muhammad cartoons, also began a boycott of Dutch companies.

Zakaria Sheikh, The chairman of the Messenger of Allah Unites Us (contradiction in terms) , says he has printed a million posters calling for a boycott of Dutch products. He says the only way Dutch companies can get themselves off the list is to take out ads in newspapers condemning the film. When I first read this I thought the fanatic hypocrite lunatics from the Messenger of Allah Unites Us wouldn’t stand a chance and no company would be so stupid to listen to them. Especially because Jordan isn’t an impressive market to say the least….

In its advertisement, the Zwanenberg Food Group expressed its “Solidarity with the campaign by The Messenger of Allah Unites Us in its attempts to pass international legislation banning insults to religion, including Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be with Him).”

Those two Dutch companies sympathize with religious fundamentalists which in fact condemn freedom of speech! Zwanenberg and Friesland Foods give up the values of freedom of speech and liberties for some extra Euros. Shame on you! All Geert Wilders, a democratic chosen member of parliament, did is sharing his view in a very bad movie. That’s called freedom of expression!

In my opinion Zwanenberg and Friesland Foods are traitor’s and they support terrorism (giving in to terrorism is the same as supporting it). I will never buy a product of them again.

PS: Join me, you can see on top which brands belong to them.

Proud to clean up your puke

We Nothern Europeans are quite the drinkers. And amongst the Nothern Euopeans, the Britans are quite the drinkers. Maybe that’s not something to be proud off, but that’s not going to stop them from doing it.

So instead of wasting their money on trying any further, the British Local Government Association, which represents councils across Britain, decided to spend their money more wisely.

Fine, go out in unfashionable fishnet stockings that hardly fit around your legs. Get drunk, drink some more, and finally puke all over the place. Remember not keep your beer bottle up straight while doing so, would be a shame to waste it.

But at least, when you wake up the next day, do remember to think about those awfully nice civics that cleaned up all that beer mixed with fish, chips and acid. They’re truly something to be proud off…

Good initiative, making the Brits drink less is money spent poorly. But please, for the love of God, couldn’t they find a good looking girl puking all over the place to take a picture of? This one makes me sick!

Sing with us Mandela: Blacks, Paki’s, Gooks and nips…

Do you know Amy Winehouse? For those who lived under a rock “Amy Jade Winehouse is an English singer-songwriter, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including soul, jazz and R&B. Amy Winehouse was born in the Southgate area of Enfield, London to a Jewish family who shared her love of jazz music”

Every week she features in the headlines of newspapers, websites and tv shows. Here are just a few of this year:

Amy Winehouse ‘faints, hospitalized’
Singer Winehouse’s husband admits to assault
Winehouse free on bail after drug arrest
Police arrest singer Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse denied visa, won’t be at Grammys
Police investigating Winehouse glass pipe video
Amy Winehouse cautioned for assault
Winehouse held for drug possession

Today there is a new headline.
Amy Winehouse - No charges over Winheouse fan attack ‘attack’

This news reminded me of the concert in Nelson Mandela’s honor in London’s Hyde Park last Friday to celebrate his 90th birthday. The line-up was impressing: Will Smith, Amy Winehouse, Jerry Dammers, Razorlight, Queen + Paul Rogers, Annie Lennox, Sugababes, Andrea and Sharon Corr, Simple Minds, Zucchero, Josh Groban.

Wait a minute…Amy Winehouse too? Isn’t Mandela known and highly respected for his continuing battle agains racism? Isn’t Amy Winehouse the Jewish racist that sung: (video)

“Blacks, Paki’s, Gooks and nip…, gooks and nips…
Blacks, Paki’s, Gooks and nip…, gooks and nips…
And deaf and dumb and blind and gay
Blacks, Paki’s, Gooks and nip…, gooks and nips…”

(in your head you should have the ‘Heads, and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toooooeess’ song)

Strange! I guess the organizers of the concert were blinded by the positive effect on publicity and ticket sales when Amy Winehouse’s name is on the flyer. Principles, who needs them anyway!

The George W. Bush sewage plant

Americans are weird. While Europeans wouldn’t dream of naming anything but a street after some national leader unless he’d be dead man who had actually achieved something positive. Not the Americans. They actually have special commisions to name stuff after presidents.

Now, there’s a whole lot of governmental or useful buildings you could name after presidents. Take for instance the John F. Kennedy space center in Florida. I’d like something like that being named after me.

The presidential memorial commision of San Francisco thought it was time to name something useful after George W. Bush too. Of course, they had to find something suitable to the current president’s achievements so far. The New York Times reports, the commision came up with it in a bar.

Probably being democrats, the came up with the following: The George W. Bush sewage plant. Briliant. To their defense, I have to say: It is an award-winning sewage plant…

For many of us, being able to fly is the stuff you do in dreams. Such a shame this can’t actually happen without the heavy use of special effects. I guess Honda’s marketing team took their inspiration from their last campain when they thought this up.

So, anyway, why the hell would this guy go and buy a Honda if he can fly?!
