I actually took these pictures myself! Usually I just bore you with reciting other people’s photo’s and videos, but this is mine! And I am very proud of it. :)
Driving around on this slow Sunday I saw this sign, at the Gulf Gas Station in Enter, that usually shows the excessive price of Dutch gasoline. Today it says “LUL” (which means dick) and “HOER” (which means “whore”) on the other side. In one of the most Christian towns around. :) Some bored atheist rebel must have hacked into the computer, while the owner was at church. Or something. But at least it was enjoying for the people on the rather busy road, driving by.
This is it, the movie that will be this summer’s box office hit:
So we are talking about a CARTOON ROBOT who FALLS IN LOVE with an ALIEN ROBOT in the year 2700. Just to make that perfectly clear. Cute story right? Not if you ask this guy, who thinks it is a left wing propaganda film to teach children how we are ruining the planet. Quote from Mr. Wise-guy: “Human beings are not bad for the earth!”
Hell no, the earth thrives on us! It are the communists who are ruining the planet! With their stupid cute cartoon clean-up robots!
Since July 1st Dutch bars and other public areas are supposed to be free of cigarettes. Which is fine, since in other countries it showed to have good effects on people’s health and no negative effect on profits. However, what about coffee shops?
The government could not outlaw smoking pot in coffee shops, since pot is technically illegal in the first place. You cannot outlaw killing people in church, if killing is not allowed to do anywhere.
Therefore, the Dutch health department is checking pot smokers’ “joints” in the shops for tobacco. Because that is illegal. Bad for your health, you know?
And speaking of smoking, see this! It is the report that came out today, showing how high penalties do not help to make people use less. On this table you can see that 42% of the Americans has used or uses Marijuana, and only 19% of the Dutch have. The cocaine figure is even more shocking. (The number says “has ever used” and does not show how much they use.)
I was watching TV tonight and saw this appalling but funny government commercial to make the Dutch recycle their electronics:
The other ones are not this ridiculous, but pretty funny. :) Wanna learn English?
The Dutch TV is not only about pissing parents off with English speaking children. We also enjoy annoying the religious. This one annoyed our Christian party. Who said Adam was straight?
That same Christian government does sponsor campaigns to stop “internetsex” because you might risk cyberincest. No kidding:
Parents, religious people, people who enjoy cybersex, what is left? The spiritual! This one has been on a million websites.
And last but not least, the Dutch enjoy practicing voodoo on Bill Clinton: (make sure to watch it until the end)
And in case you cannot get enough of Dutch cheesyness, the BBC loves us for it too.
Having the slowest Sunday of my life I decided to watch the movie that has been hyped for a year. The movie sequel to Sex and the City. I know a girl or two who respectively rated the movie to be “fun” and “10/10″ and I know the horrible ratings it got on imdb.
I have to admit: it is watchable. (!) Even for men. :) However, if you would rather do something super manly, but still want to know what goes on in the life of self proclaimed independent women in NYC, here you go:
Life is about “Love and Labels”. General confusion occurs when it comes to love, nobody knows what it means. But labels: yes, the more expensive the better. And if you cannot afford any, you can RENT label purses. No kidding. But luckily that is only necessary for one of the girls’ (poorer) PAs. The girls (richer because of work or relationships) themselves get to buy their own gear.
Except from talking all day about Love (or sex) and Labels, this is all you (men) need to know:
- If you leave your fiancee an hour before the wedding, you get away with it.
- If you sleep with other women, you get away with it.
- Women are turned on by large walk-in closets and shoes.
- Some women who refer to themselves as “smart girl” do not know how to use an iPhone.
- Other women use “love” as their email passwords.
- There are 50 year old women out there who put sushi on their naked bodies for their 25 year old boyfriends to eat.
- Women consider farting and shitting yourself highly amusing. But only by other women.
- “I’m sorry” is considered 2 words.
- The super secret special name of this mysterious series long unnamed person called “Mr. Big” is “John James”. What was all the secrecy about if that guy has 2 of the 2 most common names in the US?
It might be just me, who wonders about all of this, or maybe I just do not fully understand “love” (who does?), but could anyone tell me why women consider this movie so awesome?
(If you just want to tell me how stupid “men movies” are: that is fine too) :)
Some Americans who still do not realize how crazy cheap their gas actually is have attempted to use a new method to lower prices: prayer!
Prayer, which has proven itself as highly effective when it comes to battling deceases, gaining world peace and winning sports games, should now do the same for lower gas prices. God has always wanted Americans to use as much of the worlds fossil fuels as possible by putting it, ehh, under their enemies.
Prayer sessions for less smog, less oil dependency, less global warming are scheduled for 2070. Bring your pickup truck.
