Kenneth Anderson is probably the luckiest man on earth. I is still alive after a car crashed through a restaurant right where he was sitting. We are lucky as well, it was all caught on camera!
Kenneth Mack Anderson was eating at a coffee shop in Wilkesboro when [...]

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 [...]

Daniel is a regular of PROMOpinion.com. I feel very sorry for him, because he’s rather ignorant, he always fails to understand the topic. Nevertheless, I really appreciate his efforts to read and comment on topics which aren’t even related to him. Thank you Mr. Daniel for your continuing participation.
Here are few of his comments:

Benny just send me a sms. He can’t find the time to write a post today because he is studying for tomorrow’s motorcycle test. Though he’s a master of bad excuses, this time I think I believe him. On the other hand, why didn’t he tell me before? He must have known [...]

Spore is the latest, and suposedly ultimate, addition to Maxis‘ range of sim-everything games. I have some fond memories of games like Simcity and I bet many of our female readers spend many hours and much cash their social simulator “the Sims”.
Spore is an attempt to create [...]

At Promopinion, we always enjoy seeing other people screw something up. Makes us feel so much better about ourselves.
This criminal looking guy to the left gives us a reason to: It’s actor Rip Thorn, who was caught by the police for drunk driving. The charming looking picture was then taken at the police station, [...]

Lesbos is a Greek island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea. Its population is approximately 90,000 and they are called Lesbians.
The word lesbian is derived from the poems of Sappho, born in Lesbos, which contain powerful emotional content directed toward other females and have frequently been interpreted as expressing homosexual love. Because of this association, [...]

Dying, I rather not talk about it. It scares me to death. Live is too much fun. The way I look at it right now, I don’t want to die ever! But, according to science, we all will and what are the odds that I will be an exception?
I’m 30 years old, so [...]

So, you’ve got yourself a fancy agency to create the ultimate advertising campaign in that country you’re so desperate to sell your new cars in? A shame they forgot to tell you you don’t stand a chance in advance, since the car name you chose means “cunt” to the locals. A top ten of badly [...]

Back from Spain! I see my partner in crime Robert has kept you all busy with daily posts (well done, mate), I’ll have to take some time to catch up.
I had a great time: Andalucia is amazingly beautiful and the Spanish sun amazingly comfortable this time of [...]

The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children” is one of today’s headlines from BBC news. It amazed me that paranoid lunatic Hugo Chavez didn’t drop it earlier.
This news reminded me to a Nestlé campaign with Bart Simpson. Bart [...]

Yes, it’s that day of the year again. Some of your colleagues or friends may have (tried to) fool you today already: “Your shoelace’s untied”, a fart cushion. Most April fool’s day jokes are very lame.
Some people go through some trouble for a good joke though. As [...]

Until the 60’s many commercials were sexist in a way. By then it was no big deal. But then the feminist movement arrived and advertising agencies got scared…Sexist commercials became rare. Fully understandable since woman do most of the shopping and companies cherish a good understanding with [...]

An Icelandic telecommunications company has raised a few eyebrows. They made an advertisement using the biblical story of the Last Supper. Jesus calls Judas with the Síminn 3G Mobile phone, which supports video calling. This results in a hilarious ending of the commercial. I might have said it before, and probably will say it again, [...]

The actor Mr. T aka B. A. (Bad Attitude) Baracus is famous for his striking Mohawk hairstyle, for wearing large amounts of gold jewelry around his neck and for his one-liners with “fool” in it. His real name is Laurence Tureaud, please forget that name, Laurence spoils his image of tough guy.
His acting does [...]

Last week I promised to write less about US ads, and excellent co writer Benny asked me to skip Dutch ads too. So today…a Swedish ad.
Initially I thought the creators of this Swedish Länsförsäkringar Banking & Insurances commercial simply (ab)used the success and idea of Prison Break. Some research showed me I [...]

The slogan “Think Different” was created for Apple Computer in 1997 by advertising agency TBWA\Chiat\Day. “Think Different” may have been a play on the IBM ‘Think’ slogan.
It was used in many commercials and print advertisements anyone can still remember, with the black and white commercial and prints of significant historical people of the past like: [...]

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 [...]

Here’s an old favorite. It’s pretty old, but still hilarious. Some commercials never start to bore. This is certainly one of those. The slogan of the insurance company (Centraal Beheer) is “even Apeldoorn bellen” translation: “Just call us.” Apeldoorn is the city where Centraal Beheer have their headquarter.
Fons Bruijs the genius behind this simple [...]
