The 12th man In Poland you can get banned from football stadiums for using tribune’s chairs the wrong way (like throwing them at others), so it makes sense. But sometimes the ban is completely unjustified. That’s the case in Tunis. The government, in fear of riots, decided to close all the stadiums, banning the supporters from watching their favourite teams. The players had to play on silent stadiums and fans had to watch matches on TV. How to fill this gap when the finals are coming? C.S Hammam-Lif team made an app to solve this problem. The pitch was surrounded by loudspeakers and supporters could show their support through the app. The more people cheered, the louder speakers got. Hammam-Lif won.

Fake Real TV Programming popularity grows everyday. And it appears that this kind of entertainment can be divided to good and bad quality. In Poland most of popular TV stations has few paradocuments that shows „real” life. The Quality of this shows are poor, bur they are quite a entertain to viewers (sometimes they even become internet memes) and because if this they have good ratings. In USA television station called Thirteen which try to fight for good quality programs from real TV category. They weapon in this is parody – they create fake trailer of reality TV programs such as Clam Kings, Long Island Landscapers, Meet the Tanners.

Smokey against fire Summer is often a time of drought and by this there is big threat of fire in the woods. In order to caution against this, it is best to prepare a series of humorous ads that draw attention to the problem.
Smokey Bear is a kind of legend in US, since 1944 he is a brand hero for action, campaigns about dealing with fire hazards in forests. In TV commercials he appears for more than 40 years and in many ways he tries to say to be more careful in the woods and always put down the campfire. He tries many methods: convincing to think, threating, and even crying.
In newest commercial friendly (?) forester, in jeans and hat, hugs tourists to thanks them for putting down the fire before leaving camp.

Do you remember that taste? In the 90’s in our part of Europe Coca Cola was still a rare and very much desired product. But some were lucky and were given a chance to taste it. Some even kept the taste for 20 year. One Hungarian went to USA with his parents 20 years ago and brought back can of Coke. He never opened it and never tasted it. Until last week. He shared his impressions on line.
Very clearly and vividly he describes the Coke as much better than the one that is sold nowadays with too much artificial ingredients. And just think that some vine manufacturers tries to go Coke, to lure new customers. That’s the wrong way boys – you should do it the other way around.
So close English people now a thing or two about suspense, but this time they failed. Or at least J.K. Rowling failed. Probably one of the most famous writers in the world of children literature has been exposed. She made billions (of £ and fans) for her saga about youthful magician, but lately tried to prove herself worthy by writing something completely realistic (no magic involved). Now it seems she tested herself even more – she was exposed as a Robert Galbraith, ex-military family man, who wrote detective story „Cuckoo’s calling”. A was expected the sales skyrocketed (nevertheless the book is said to be decent piece of literature). Now the English press is making – what other aliases might she be working under.
last idea\\ dragons’ beach Last week we brought the news about awful Mr Darcy (from Pride&Prejudice) statue, that was set up on the Hyde Park’s lake. Today we’re bringing less hideous statue – this is how „Game of Thrones” is promoted in England.
