Ho White and the Seven Dwarves’ beer advert angers Disney

ho-white-beer-ad_1503204c

A beer advertisement featuring a raunchy version of Snow White has reportedly raised the ire of Disney.

The x-rated advertisement, for Jamieson’s Raspberry Ale, depicts the fairytale heroine blowing smoke rings while lying in bed with seven semi-clad dwarves. In this Disney dystopia, Snow White has been renamed “Ho White”, while the loveable dwarves Sleepy, Happy and Doc are rebranded Filthy, Smarmy and Randy – supposedly to represent different types of drinkers.

Advertisers often forget to view the ads / products / services from the eyes of the consumer. To them it’s a harmless joke but to the consumers it is a vulgar and cruel act of destroying the perfect image of Snow White from their childhood memory. If they did this to Ariel – my favourite Disney princess – I will surely write them a hate mail. HAHA.

“Whatever” has been voted the most annoying word in American English. Nearly 50 per cent of people questioned said “whatever” was the word that bothered them the most. It was the most irritating word in all regions of the country, and among both sexes, all age groups, educational levels and income brackets.

Whatever Baby

Why was I not surprised? I would have voted for that same word too! This reminded me of the “whatever baby” video which was once popular in youtube. Gosh! The way she rolled her eyes!

sad egg

Chris Schauerman, of Honeoye Falls, said he noticed one of his chickens appeared ill one day last week. The hen, named Roberta, died later that night but not before it had laid six eggs, including one that was two and a half times the normal size. … “I came up to the chicken and nudged her. She was barely able to pick up her head before it fell back down to the ground.” The farmer is convinced that it was the effort of laying such a huge egg, which has been christened Little Roberta, that proved too much for the hen. … Mr Schauerman said the egg will briefly be displayed to local schoolchildren before he makes it into an omelet.

This is hilarious but depressing at the same time. BAH.

I read an article from telegraph.co.uk about “20 Things to do before you leave University” and realized that I’ve only done 4 of those 20 things listed. Maybe the list was not applicable to our local context or maybe I should have stayed in school for a couple more years! Or maybe not.

If you are sick of your HUMP-ady dog, maybe you want to get a Hot Doll for her/him.

Demand:

  • Loves to dominate
  • Loves to climb on various objects

Supply:

  • Shape and materials allow product to be stable, to grip on the floor, to be resistant and to have a soft touch

How thoughtful!

Their mission

“We want to introduce to dog owners and his companion finally a world adapted to their needs. “

I know bananas are beneficial, with lots of potassium, vitamin B6, and are a good energy booster which also aid bowel movement. But seriously, public sex for these benefits? I’ll rather have constipation for a month.

The umbrella that protects against rain and muggers

Makers Real Self-Defense say their brolly is as strong as a steel pipe despite weighing only 775g and is already proving a hit across the UK and Europe. They claim it is perfect for use as a self-defence weapon, particularly when combined with knowledge of martial arts training such as Kendo, a Japanese style of fencing.

Short people ordered to stand behind President Nicolas Sarkozy during speech

sarko

Twenty short people were ordered to stand behind French President Nicolas Sarkozy to make him look taller while delivering a televised speech.

Reason being?
“Mr Sarkozy, who is notoriously sensitive about his height, did not want a repeat of the fiasco in June when he was caught using a footstool when delivering a speech alongside Gordon Brown and President Barack Obama on one of Normandy’s D-Day beaches. Both the 5ft 11ins British Prime Minister and 6ft 2 ins US leader towered above Mr Sarkozy when they used the same podium, humiliating him in front of a worldwide audience.”
