Cartoons!
Michelle, round-eyed in Rotterdam...
A shorty entry from me today because I'm dashing around like a headless chicken with this and that, but earlier I just happened to be in the living room and there was this cartoon (tekenfilm in Dutch) on the TV, and it was in Dutch being spoken quite slowly, and is good practice for my language skills, and so I decided to sit down for 2 minutes and see if I could understand what the cheerfully odd little cartoon characters were talking about...
Picture this: lots of cheerfully odd (as I said) little colorful characters all having such a friendly chat, so I watched to the end and...kind of didn't believe what I was hearing!
It was an advertisement for safe sex. The "cartoon characters" were multicolored condoms.
I just love TV over here. I really do...
Michelle, still laughing!

Oh, I think we saw their Portugese cousins as mascots at a soccer game in Lisbon! The tall one was blue I remember. Gotta love that European mentality towards safe sex!

Heh, yes! The tall blue dude condom was exactly the one! (Will have to see if I can catch the ad again so can work out what all the other little characters were supposed to be.)
Michelle, still laughing...

Hey, gotta get that message out in a way that appeals to 6-year-olds, you know! Funny! Wish I could see it. :)
