Fast and safe

I was a bit surprised with Tallink’s new choice of English advertisements… ;-)

    Wow, how tasteless! I assume the underlining is work of yours.
    People are not that dumb, not when only 2 weeks have passed from the accident.

  • Eino-Kalevi

    Is that photoshopped? You never know in this blog.

  • jooo

    grabbing those foreigeners who visit helsinki and just might take a 1 night off in Tallinn? when? after or before championship

  • Ace

    Yeah, I guess fast and safe was a good description of the m/s Estonian too.

  • Fugu

    What the newspaper where it was issued? Did word “safe” was exactly underlned as seen on the picture?

    Okay, I thought everyone would know me well enough (and my piss poor photoshop skills) to know that I made this up. :-) I’ll have to add a little: ;-) face to the post.

    I don’t think that’s funny. I think that’s sick.

    You’re scattershot in your complaints about Finland, and to top it off, you have to invent tasteless stuff to fill space?!

    well done phil, you have outdone yourself this time. any chance of an apology to tallink? or will a smirking smiley face be enough?.

    I should warn you guys – stay away from comedy shows such as “The Simpsons”, “The Daily Show”, “Family Guy”, “Saturday Night Live”, BBC’s “The Office” … they will seriously offend you. They make jokes about Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Hitler. You’ll be in tears.

    the thing about the shows you mention above is that they are funny – their offensiveness has a context. your attempt up there came across as being nothing more than a random cheap potshot at a company that didnt deserve it – nothing else than a (bad) joke for the sake of it.

    Yeah, I’m no Benny Hill.
