A matter of national security
Our government has done it again! As some of you might know there is now a law that invades our privacy and it’s totally unconstitutional. The law nr. 298/2008 clearly states that our authorities can listen/store our phone conversations, read/store our text and email messages, view/store our name, physical address and login time based on our IP. Don’t tell me this is part of the Constitution when art. 28 clearly states that our conversations are private.
You can do something about it and tell our government to go fuck themselves by signing this online petition. We can make a difference.
P.S. This also concerns you, foreign visitor. Make a difference by signing this petition, or your country will be next. This law follows the 2006/24/EC directive on the retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks and amending Directive 2002/58/EC.
P.P.S This sexy girl in the picture is there just to get your attention. It is not a bonus if you sign the petition.
Whopper Virgins
Burger King launched a controversial campaign called Whopper Virgins, in which the nice people of Maramures, Romania are involved. They are the poor “indigenous” people that have never got the chance to experience the divin touch of the great American burgers, so Burger King decided to help out these poor bastards and give them a piece of heaven. The Maramureseni loved it! 
Here’s part of the Burger King teaser concerning the campaign. You can look for other stuff for yourself, I don’t want to get into this- I am appalled.
This is a great response to the Burger King campaign, I would like to congratulate the people who made this.
P.S. Fuck you Burger King, for that dangerous combination of massive obesity and stupidity that you try spread all over the world.

Maserati with driver included
3 years ago
in Marketing
Auto Italia Group (the local Maserati importer) came up with a brilliant marketing and HR strategy- they are now selling their all new Maserati Quattroporte with a professional driver included, for 6 months from the purchase. Such a car is usually driven by a professional and I’m almost certain the owners will hire the drivers afterwards.
