Comments on: France 24: Beyond the News http://www.andfaraway.net/blog/2006/12/04/france-24-beyond-the-news/ Another Casualty to the Seduction Of Art Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:22:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: progressivehttp://www.andfaraway.net/blog/2006/12/04/france-24-beyond-the-news/comment-page-1/#comment-14012 progressive Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:59:07 +0000 http://andfaraway.net/blog/2006/12/04/france-24-beyond-the-news/#comment-14012 I saw the ad obesity beyond the news at a Gatwick terminal gate to Philadelphia. Was very offended and wondered if this ad was targeting FAT Americans since this is where the plane was going. If it was this is the sort of stuff lawsuits are made of. Why should I have to sit there and be offeneded. Maybe this type of ad is very funny in France but here it is just offensive. Complained to an offical there. This ad does not make sence to English speaking people, are you French people getting lost in trying to translate and not thinking of the implications this ad puts in peoples minds. Obviously the hamburger, the popular food of America, is insinuating we are grossly fat. Something that may be funny in France but not to us. This is the equivalent of renaming French Fries... Frog Fries, do you think that is funny? I saw the ad obesity beyond the news at a Gatwick terminal gate to Philadelphia.

Wenn man bedenkt, dass allein www.arbeitsagentur.de mit 100.000.000 Euro das gleiche Budget besessen hat, ist da das Geld scheinbar in den Händen der richtigen Leute gelandet.

I’ve seen this concept of ads, with a head showing of something while the bottom is submerged showing another ‘true’ side to the story.

What was it ya rabbi,
some British Newspaper…

Anyway,
