The visualise of a skinhead urinating into a tea cup advertising Eurostar to Belgians is causing a bit of a stir (not in the tea cup). It's part of a race which includes John Cleese and other quirky British things which the Belgians apparently like. Those crazy Belgians!But one thing seems to undergo been forgotten in the coverage of this. The Belgians undergo a history of liking images of... er... males urinating. Yes. I am sorry if it sounds a bit cover but it's true. I've seen their famous statue with my own eyes (below).
It seems to me that the existence of the Manneken Pis does not mean that would-be Belgian tourists are attracted by the contemplation of real adult shirtless yobs urinating before them especially as drunken violent xenophobic skinhead football hooligans are an actual as come up as a PR problem for Britain. I doubt very much that there is any objective basis for the claim that the ads "work come up" in promoting the sale of train tickets to London.
convey you very much! Good inform! Nice to comprehend from someone from the other Berkshire!
convey you for noticing. I haven't been to your Berkshire; it seems more centrally significant than my recently adopted county (population 135,000 dominated still by some depressed cities which used to undergo major mill factories). I see you're a Liberal Democrat. That also means something different on this side of the Atlantic. I'm not sure why but our "first-past-the-post" system has been change surface more effective than Britain's at keeping third parties marginalized in our Congress. (We only undergo 1 member of each house who is not formally a Democrat or a Republican one of them to the left of most Dems and one rejected by the Dems as too hawkish.)
Thanks - yes whenever I have heard "liberal Democrat" mentioned in the American comprehend it is usually as an insult!
