Use your head
Filed under: Advertising, Bike babes, Crazy Stuff, Ducati, Events, Helmets, Italy, Safety
“Use your head ” is the latest guerrilla marketing campaign from Ducati, a group of umbrella girls hit the streets of Milan coming into direct contact with bikers to promote safe riding, talk about safety and the responsible use of motorcycles.
I wonder what would happen if the traffic department here runs a similar campaign?
A valid reason to go to Sharm
Saw this poster, and thought i should share it…i love the Boney M, back in the days they were “Z” band -yes am that old – i love their music danced to it and still do.
Egyptian movies were the only movies that played Boney M music at the time where the Boney M were way out of fashion…we used to make fun of the people who danced to their music is these movies.
Ironically the Boney M -or what is left of them- will perform is Sharm El Sheikh end of July thru mid August.

Today Valantino Rossi made his 100 win in the MotoGP, with this win Rossi became the second rider in the MotoGP history to score a 100 win after Giacomo Agostini who is considered the greatest MotoGP rider of all time -122 win-.
After the win, Rossi went to greet his fans and they surprised him with a huge banner with photos of Rossi’s 100 wins.
The first couple of laps of the race gave the impression that this is going to be an entertaining race but after Pedrosa fell and Stoner went back to third place, Rossi was only racing himself and beating his own lap times lap after the other.

Manage Your Seats more Professionally !
Filed under: Advertising, Bullshit, Events, Local, Ralf Langwost, Reviews
A friend gave a ticket for a seminar organized by the Kuwait Chapter of the International Advertising Association, it’s about how to “Manage Your Ideas more Professionally” ..i don’t usually attend events organized by this “association” because i think its a waste of time, but my friend insisted that i should ..because the famous German dude Ralf Langwost is giving the seminar ..so i accepted, not becuase i knew who Ralf Langwost is, but because i didn’t want to look ignorant if i didn’t.
For some weird reason the seminar was in a ballroom at Hyatt Hospital !!!
So anyway i went there, the hostess at the door gave the directions were to find a seat ..she opened the door to a room that was around 6m x 6m and packed with people just like a big sardine can…she couldn’t even open the door fully to let me in because there was people setting next to the door..i had to squeeze myself in only to find that there were no seats available ! i wasn’t the only one ..a couple of guys were already standing outside and making fun of it…how could someone organize an event like this and sells tickets -mine had the “paid Delegates” stamp on it so it was not free – and not have enough seats ?
Yallah.. at least Mr.Langwost could now go back to Germany and write a book on seat management.
