Here we guess again

Props to Libby - "German Tide - everything else is shit" - ,

Jeanine - "New: German Tide toilet paper - now you no longer have to use your T-shirts if you want to pamper your backside" -,

and Moritz - "If the ENT doctor couldn't help with that really bad smell every time you lift the lid of your laundry basket it's time to consult another specialist: Go and see your oculist before you can't see your bathroom anymore" -

for making me laugh with their creative ideas for last week's edition of Guess What.

The right answer, however, was again Alicia's and Jeanine's. The original subline is: Alcohol -damages more than you think. I know there are some experts on that subject among us, so what do you think of that ad? And by experts I mean, of course, those ladies that have worked on an anti binge drinking campaign with last year's NSAC team.

That one time when I drank just a bit too much, I remember that a cup of coffee helped against the hang-over. And now, after this truly elegant transition, here is the next picture puzzle for you:

Yaybies, get hold of your guessing skills again

Physician: Your findings are back. I am afraid, I don't have good news for you today.
Patient: Oh ok, what's the diagnosis?
Physician: I am sorry. You have cancer and Alzheimer's.
Patient: Well, at least it's not cancer. *

In France, one million people can't get hold of their memories:





Last week's ad is for the Association France Alzheimer. J9 is back and with a vengeance: Congratulations for guessing the right answer right away!

And here is this week's challenge. It should have a familiar ring at least for some of yaybia's guessers. Have fun and good luck!



* I know that both cancer and Alzheimer's disease are very serious and the cause of dire distress for the patients and their families. When I worked on a dementia project for the biggest part of last year, I have learned that humour can be one way to deal with it. Not the only one of course, but one that apparently works for quite a few of the victims. I hope I have not offended anyone for whom it might not work. End of proactive excuse.

Everybody Should be Encouraged to Slow Down

I just checked out Heineken's Know the Signs website. It is a humorous website where you spot the signs of over-drinking. Crazy, obnoxious dancing; bawling about your ex; getting a little grabby with the opposite sex; etc. It's a nice microsite, but it also asks for your birth date since you are supposed to be 21+ to enter.

Here's my question: This website may be created by a beer brand, but should it be "restricted" to 21+?

I know people can lie about their birth date and enter anyway. But, people under 21 do drink and are more likely to binge drink. Shouldn't they be encouraged to learn more about drinking in moderation or not at all rather than be told this site "isn't for them?" No one wants to encourage underage drinking, but I think it's ignorant to ignore the fact that it happens.

Thoughts?
