It's time

We behind the beingadonis blog would like to thank you, our readers, for your faithfulness and contributions, and announce that we will be back within a month’s time with two quite original and hopefully entertaining projects that are currently in the planning phase. The links will be posted in this blog upon launch, so keep checking in. The beingadonis blog will not be continued for now since we feel it is time to express ourselves in a new format. It has been a true joy and an honour.

Thank you, merci, a bientot, and bye for now.

Moving on

So it has been decided. Me and my blog are moving to Dublin to work for the very same people that have been kind enough to host my blog on this excellent portal for the last 8 months, (the blog will not work for Google). This will of course mean that I will no longer be complaining about and highlighting cultural and behavioral observations from France, but will go on to pass relentless judgment on the Irish and their traditions through my all-seeing and objective eyes ;) Other than that, the blog will stay true to it’s old nature. Further culture clashes and adventures await me on the green island up north. I hope that you will come along and share the madness.

During the next two weeks I will be slightly preoccupied with the moving process, finding a new apartment and all that, so the pace of publishing will most certainly slow down a bit. But please check in now and then and I promise to be back, stronger than ever, as soon as I’ve settled in and had a few pints of Guinness.

Into the wild

I am in the Swedish countryside behind a modem connection, typing on a 5 year old laptop, and I am blaming these horrendous circumstances for my lack of posts lately. I will return with fresh posts (that aren't actually anti-posts like this one) by beginning of next week. I also have some exciting news to announce that will somewhat change the nature of my blog. (Me and my blog are relocating, more on this soon)

A tout a l'heure.

Don't visit Malaysia 2007

Since I am on a long vacation, (or between jobs as you might put it) I have had the pleasure of watching a lot of TV lately. I have also had the mixed pleasure of watching commercial campaigns to boost tourism in some, mostly eastern countries. These TV commercials all follow the same principle, nice scenery, hospitable old people, beautiful girls dressed in folklore outfits, accompanied by the cheesiest music a la Celine Dion. The one that annoys me the most is the publicity for Malaysia. It’s featuring one of the worst songs I have ever heard in a commercial, not counting for example short cat food jingles. It’s so horrific that it crawls beneath my skin and makes me instinctively reach for the remote to change the channel. If the remote would not work I think I would jump out the window or head butt my lightweight flat screen TV Zinedine Zidane style. I dare anyone to find a worse or more annoying song than this one. Without further ado, I give you Malaysia’s “Visit Malaysia 2007 – One Golden Celebration" campaign.
