Humping Lutscher

Aaaah, der Ruhm der Freiheit. Jeder frei zu, zum sich auszudrücken, haben ihre eigene Religion und tragen, was auch immer sie wünschen: Beit ein Schleier, turban, Heck, sogar ein flowerpot, interessieren uns wir nicht.
Leider einige Leute. Adfreak zeigte uns auf diese vor kurzem befreite ägyptische Anzeige anregenfrauen, um Schleier zu tragen. Es hat verursacht ein reales rührt alle [...]

Zwanenberg und Friesland Nahrungsmittelunterstützungsterrorismus

Letzte Woche holländische Firmen haben in einen jordanischen Boykott gegeben. Die Firmen Zwanenberg und die Friesland Nahrungsmittel haben Reklameanzeigen in Jordanien Zeitungen gelegt, sagend, das sie dem Film Fitna durch Politiker Geert Wilders entgegensetzen.
Der Kurier von Allah vereinigt uns, die bereits einen Boykott der dänischen Produkte wegen der fantastischen Muhammad Karikaturen angebracht hatten, anfing auch ein [...]

Spaniens fragliche Hymne

Die europäischen Fußballmeisterschaften nähern sich ihrem Ende, und obgleich alle als ein Holländer heraus sind, muß ich sagen, daß das großartige finale mich noch aufregt. Da ich dieses schreibe, passe ich Spanien auf, auf den Russen im zweiten halb-abschließenden zu nehmen.
Bevor das Gleiche begann, hörte ich zu beiden Ländern' nationale Hymne. Nationale Hymnen sind wie [...]

Karma-Polizei

PROMOpinion teilt nicht die Meinung des folgenden Pfostens, aber wir regen jedermann an, folglich diesen interessant unterschiedlichen Blick auf modernen Mitteln und Propaganda durch Shane Lamotte heraus zu sprechen.
Warum haben Sie die Leute, die in Roboter, lebendes Leben unconsciously verändert sind, als ob sie bereits tot sind? Why has the general public become slaves to their mind, blaming others [...]

The joke’s on Holland

Ever since World War II the Dutch people - or most people in general, really - have held a grudge against the Germans. After all, they stole our bikes. If there’s one sure way to piss off a Dutchman it’s stealing his bike. When I was a child, my grandfather would used to teach us [...]

McDonalds Deserves A Break Today!

[ratings]According to a survey published yesterday, McDonald’s is Britain’s most hated brand. They topped a list of almost 300 well-known names, from cars to shops to charities.
Of course most brands prefer to be loved, but being hated doesn’t have to be bad. Regardless of whether a brand is loved or hated, it has at [...]

City Left Broke After Royal Visit

[ratings]Today it’s queen’s day. It’s one of the biggest feasts in the Netherlands. Therefore I’m not spending time on writing a long article. Every minute I’m writing is one beer less!
I found a decent explanation about what queen’s day is though, you can read it in the article below. It’s the ultimate propaganda day for [...]

Beijing 2008: Human Rights are a Propaganda Game

[ratings]Beijing’s loss of the 2000 Olympics Games to Sydney, Australia was attributed mainly to it’s poor human rights record. After sitting out the bidding for the 2004 Olympic events, China made a promise of improving it’s human rights record as the centerpiece of it’s successful bid for the 2008 Olympics.

In fact, prior to launching it’s [...]

An Ape Was An Ape…

[ratings]Gorillas, the largest of the living primates, are ground-dwelling herbivores that inhabit the forests of Africa (Rwanda, Uganda and Congo). The DNA of gorillas is 97%–98% identical to that of you and me and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzee and co-writer Benny.
The gorilla is subject to intense poaching. [...]

According to officials from North Korea:
1. When Kim Jong-Il was born, a monster came out of the sea at Pyongyang and started to sing the national anthem.
2. When Kim Jong-Il was born, a double rainbow arose over the Baekdu Mountain , the highest mountain in North Korea
3. When Kim Jong-Il was born, a new star [...]

Fitna the movie

[ratings]
Note: The original host of the movie decided to get it offline, click the video to see why. You can still see the movie here.
Over the last few months, not a day went by in my country (the Netherlands) in which it hasn’t been a point of discussion in the media: Geert Wilders’ announced [...]

Marketing versus Tibet, Falun Gong, Taiwan and child labor

[Ratings]
With 133 days to go until the Olympic games in China, more and more commercials, advertisements and promotional campaigns will use the event for marketing purposes. It has been like that for a long time and will be like that forever. Not all Olympic games are the same though. The country which has the honor [...]

“Hitler was a very great man”

[Ratings]
Religions are a hot subject at the moment. From Obama’s United Church of Christ to the coming movie about Islam from right wing politician Geert Wilders called Fitna and the monks in Tibet.
The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a Protestant Christian denomination principally in the United States formed in 1957 by the union of [...]

I did not have a call with that woman!

In times of election, every mistake can ruin a candidate. It looks like the Hilary Clinton promotion team made such a mistake. Recently they made a commercial of Hilary Clinton in the Whitehouse. The ad is called 3am. It suggest that Hilary is working 24/7 and is ready, willing and qualified. That message is [...]

Dodging censorship

As you may have noticed, Russia elected a new president yesterday. Well, not that new really, since they couldn’t vote for Putin anymore they chose his straw man, Medvedev. Trading Vladimir for Dimitri won’t make much of a difference, but that aside. The news reader announcing the news told me advertising wasn’t allowed for Dimitri’s [...]

Renault Clio’s anti-Americanism

We all know about the French Anti-Americanism. Whether it’s legitimate or not, I won’t give my opinion about it and what both countries do with those feelings doesn’t concern me. Until today! I stumbled across a hilarious ad, made by the French Advertising Agency : WAM/Publicis.
The French always had their own style and sense of [...]

Yes we can

I heard on the news today Barack Obama now officially has a majority in the race for a democratic candidate in the US presidential campaign. Looking at the viral video top 10 on the internet today I can’t say that I’m surprised: I’ve never been as fascinated with this character as with any would be [...]

Communist capitalism

Yesterday, I was watching a movie called “Good bye Lenin” on television. It paints a nice picture of communist country East Germany (the former DDR) at the time the Berlin wall fell, including all those small details you never really think about.
In this movie, there are various scenes in which the main characters are watching [...]

Controversial socialist party commercial

In the Netherlands we have a socialist party (SP) like every country does. They made a short protest movie about the Dutch homecare for the elderly. This blog is not about politics, so I won’t talk about the matter itself.
To communicate with videos like this to get your message seen/heard is a good thing. [...]

See the world, they said

Like many of its European friends, the great country of Sweden is moving from a conscription-based to a voluntary military. Of course, this means volunteers will have to be recruited first.
But how do you lure young people into a harsh, disciplined life of relatively low pay and an ultimate chance of having to go to [...]

Masturbate for peace

A daily reader of this blog told me about a very strange campaign. I checked it out and noticed that it was indeed very odd. On their website they state that everyone has to masturbate for peace…

Here is why they promote masturbation:
“There’s no greater antidote for war than love. Feelings of hatred and distrust form [...]

Good Morning Lemmings

Many virals, commercials, advertisements have passed already. I think it’s time to add a new theme: ‘Awareness and propaganda.’For outsiders, terms like propaganda, promotion, advertising, PR, marketing all look the same. Even for some insiders. I always look up a definition when I’m in doubt about a certain term. Therefore here’s the definition [...]
