As in most of Europe these days, the Netherlands recently put a ban on smoking in pubs, bars, clubs and restaurants. Although many of the die-hard smokers in our country like to complain about this, they’re living up to the new rules remarkably well.
Yet, the ban on smoking introduced one problem to which even many [...]

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, [...]

The latest estimates put the number of annual new HIV infections at 2.5 million, a cut of more than 40 percent from last year’s [...]

Coca Cola must be ashamed for sponsoring the Olympic games. Why else this compressed commercial? The voice-over would embarrass the speed rappers from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
With this ad Coca Cola is recruiting people that want to carry the Olympic Torch trough the U.S. The Olympic torch, [...]

In my entire life I only went to the circus once. That’s enough. I don’t like it, clowns are never funny just silly, acrobats have safety lines which takes away all tension and horses running in circles…what’s the fun of that? I might give Cirque du Soleil [...]

Today is the birthday of Benny, my good friend and co-blogger from PROMOpinion. I apologize for mentioning him in two consecutive posts. I won’t do it for a long time after today, that’s a promise!
His birthday triggered me to search for a birthday ad. Somewhere in the far corner of YouTube I stumbled upon the [...]

When I think of McEnroe, I think of his famous quote “You cannot be serious.” What he should be known for are his tennis abilities which were brilliant.
Dayzers, a Dutch lottery , somehow managed to get John in their ad. Well somehow… If you think the prices you can win are low in [...]

Sorry everyone, Axe released a new add with a chocolate guy in it (Axe is called Lynx in Australia, New-Zealand, Ireland and the UK ). I don’t know how much ads they created thus far, but too many! The creative guys working there are inadequate.
Look at the ad above and tell us what you [...]

Looking for some cool free-running clips on YouTube I came across this Toyota advert from 2005. Free running, or Parkour in this case (they’re pretty much the same to me), was really the hype of the moment at that time, and it seems Toyota decided to join in. I might be totally missing the [...]

I have only one question to ask the creators of this vid. Did you ever smoke a spliff? Allow me to give an answer for them. “No we did not!”
I can’t find the link between using cannabis and a karateka that can’t hit trough a plank. The slogan of this PSA is “high for [...]
