Ideal country

The ideal country would be, where they have French cheeses (but without the French people), Italian salami, German sense for precision and quality, Finnish education, low taxes, four seasons, mild climate, sea, good architecture and no assholes or religious fanatics.

Scrupulous PR

I am doing now a project for a PR course and have to say that after couple of years of PR praxis I have become a monster :oD.

The project is a hypothetical campaign for a small city in the middle of nowhere that they would "allow" in the public referendum to build the radioactive waste disposal near their homes.

I did the truly excellent PR campagn with all the "ethical" brainwashing (is it even ethical to brainwash people for money?) and then I was thinking, what the hell!

It is paid by the government, the budget is 10 mil. Czech Crowns (625 000 US dollars) why to make a stupid campaign for such amount of money. Why not do the "unethical" campaign without any brainwashing. In the city is only 600 inhabitants, each of them would be given 1000 US dollars if they would say YES in the referendum and thats it :o)). In the end, it WAS their choice to be paid and vote YES, right?

Well, I guess that if I would send just this one slide with the budget 1000 USD for each of the inhabitant, I would be given Fail mark for the project :o).

Czech Tabloid

So after quite a long time I skipped through the pages of czech tabloid Blesk and really have to laugh.

There is this young "sexy" lady with fake boobies (age 25), in a different times we would call her a hooker, but no, she is supposed to be supermodel, and she had this relationship with 65 yrs old rich businessman. I really have to laugh, because I have seen a video of these two couple of months ago and it was really "material" worth looking. She is stupid as fuck, only takes money from him (car, house etc.) and yet she is unfaithful to him.

I get this whole "quid pro quo" situation - she is young, poor, good looking, he is old and ugly and has money. But I really do not get, why she could not be at least faithful to this pity old man? No to mention that all the people have to be laughing at him, why he is with this "silicone" stupid lady with IQ worth a microbe, but jesus, if this is "business" relationship, not based on love, she really could be at least doing the part of her contract :oP.

On the other hand, it is "hard" made money, this ugly viagra-pumped grandpa fucking me all day long, not the idea of life I would want to be pursuing... eghhh.

Cieli che feci mai?

Cecilia Bartoli was yesterday for the first time in the Czech Republic, Prague.

She left me speechless and the only thing I can say, that she is truly a goddess. Bravo.

I think that it was the most expensive concert I have ever been to (200 euros per ticket - aprox salary in Czech Republic is 920 euros), but it was hell worth it! She was singing Vivaldi arias (with little pause) for more than THREE hours! THe conductor/violinist Spinosi was great as well. It was on of the best concerts ever!

On a cynical note

The news are lately nothing but less Escherichia coli from Germany, and how everybody will die of this highly contageous bacteria of hemmorhagic diarrhea.

Well... now some numbers. There is 0,04 ‰ (permille, not percent) of German inhabitants infected. From these only one percent have died (26 persons so far). For example in Ebola virus is the mortality rate between 50-90 %!!! Here it is just one percent!


I know, that there is this saying, that with one person dying, the one whole world dies, but being sick with the chance of dying can happen to anyone with different kinds of diseases. That is why I wonder we make such a fuss when 26 people in Germany die, when between 100 000 to 150 000 persons die every day on the planet.

Kindle

Yesterday I got Kindle. Have to say, it is just great. Combined with wonderful software Calibri, I really have no complaints.

Well maybe one, could be supporting DOC, because I have several scripts from my studies, which are written in DOC format... but there are ways how to deal with it, so in the end, it is not that such of a problem.

OK so I have found out another disadvantage after really serious usage - since yesterday I have finished already one 280 pages book and started a new one, and have to say, that my thumbs feel like in the 90s when I was playing Tetris on this pocket machine, haha. Because I enjoy bigger letters so than I have to push the NEXT button quite often, so thats why. But I guess that after couple of days my thumbs will be used to pressing the buttons, so thats it.

So in the end... Kindle is really great ebook reader.
