U<\/span>h-Oh. Pardon my Dutch link again: Every country has an organization for ‘social responsible’ television advertisements. The Dutch SIRE for example, is one of those organizations that generally broadcast those (highly original) educational commercials. Apparantly their latest campaign, really ironed out all taboos: a combination of ‘kid-like drawings’ and completely ‘rude’ but upfront (as in the way how Dutch people talk to and about each other) text.

“Do you want to f*ck with me”, Wim asks.

They’re humans too’.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
