First ever North Korean beer ad

Saturday, July 4, 2009 at 5:03 | In beer | 2 Comments

Commercials are not what you would be likely to see in North Korean TV and never before has the Central Television run a beer ad. The clip is a piece of crap but I would definitely like to taste the beer.

It is not the first time I receive this crazy error message when trying to enter a comment to a Facebook status update.

Now, if I am indeed offline as Facebook seems to be thinking, then what is the point in showing me this mesage? If I were offline I would obviously not see it.

You may think so but I could not possibly comment.


Your Gift is Intellect


You are a big thinker, and you’re always playing with new ideas.

You are curious about the world. You enjoy learning and developing new theories.

You enjoy researching, analyzing, and solving problems. Thinking hard feels good!

You’re the type of person who finds most mental tasks to be easy. You love to stretch your brain.

Protect your computer

Do you think that protecting your computer against viruses and other malicious software is an overkill and not worth the trouble? Well, just watch this four and a half minute video clip and think again.

I am thick skinned

I knew this already but now it is official: I am thick skinned. :-)


You Are Thick-Skinned


People may not always love you, but that’s totally fine.

You’re happy with who you are, and you don’t really crave outside approval.

You love yourself, and that’s the most important thing. You have high self esteem.

And because you don’t care what other people think, they tend to like you a lot!

You are a terrorist

Turn off that freaking cell!

I have not used a cell phone for three years and I am not missing the damned thing a second. There are apparently still quite a lot of people who do not understand that it is utterly impolite to have a cell switched on at every  moment anywhere they go. I am glad that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs made a point of it.

Do you think you do not have time to vote in the election of the European Parliament? Think again!

German Wahl-O-Matic is mostly entertainment

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 21:07 | In Election, Politics, eu | Leave a Comment

Web based surveys where voters can compare their views with those of parties have been around in Finland for years. I have never given the turnouts any consideration when actually making up my mind but I have nevertheless taken all the surveys available. I take it as a form of entertainment.

I did two Finnish surveys on the election of the EU Parliament earlier today and received mixed results as expected. For a moment ago I detected (via StoiBär) a German survey which I thought would be cool to take for comparison. It caught my eye right away that the German version gave less options: just yes, abstain or no. In the Finnish queries the options were more diverse: completely or partialy in favor or against and abstaining.

The German questions were also more of an extreme nature. Some of them were more or less unrealistic as well. No party would seriously suggest that Germany should step out of the EU or abandon euro and reintroduce the German mark. At least I as a voter would not take such a party seriously.

For some odd reason, you are only allowed to compare your results with eight of the 29 participating parties at a time. This is what I received when comparing with the eight parties currently represented in the European Parliament:

Adding the Pirates (which I would vote for in Germany) and removing CSU (which I would definitely not vote for) I got this result:

As I said, not a very adequate image of my actual preferences. Great entertainment, just the same.

Take care of your mother

As a post mother’s day post I would like to urge everybody to take good care of their mother if she is still around. Below some maternal reflections from JibJab.

Having a bite of pizza may not be the healthiest thing to do but it is worth not taking the hazard too seriously.

Let us all starve

Mia Farrow has apparently ended her 12 day hunger strike in support of Darfur due to health concerns. 12 days without food is by definition unhealthy. The point of a hunger strike – if a hunger strike has a point at all – is to harm one’s own health in protest.

Richard Branson is reported to have “taken over” the protest. I suppose we could help him out. If everybody in the web “took over”, as it were, for one hour, the action could go on indefinetly. The people of Darfur would feel so good about everybody starving for an hour on their behalf. And nobody’s health would be damaged.

The people in Darfur would still starve and die but they would probably die happier knowing that the World wide virtual community took action for them.
