Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

NSFW- Need a washing machine? YES! (Best Ad Ever!)

I'll take a dozen, or more.




Just across Germany's northern-most border with Denmark you'll find an incredible superstore called Fleggaard.  There, you can buy everything you need - tubs of gummi bears, cases of wine, industrial strength dishwashing soap - at prices 30% cheaper than you'll find in Denmark . It is Denmark's Costco, packaged as a German loophole. This is their advertisement!  The 100+ women do stunts in the air - while free-falling - holding hands to spell out "Half-off on Dishwasher at Fleggaard." You'd be hard-pressed to find a man in Denmark who hasn't seen and fallen in love with that commercial.  It was geared strictly to men. 


The ad is real!

That may be the most awesome commercial full of awesomeness ever. EVER.

Were I to find myself travelling to Germany, I would go out of my way to shop there. Well done, Fleggaard's.

I've had this on my site for a year or so. The title of the post?

"The Greatest Ad In History"

And who could argue the point?

Or points, in this case.

Shame on you, Doc, for not sharing. It's not like there isn't enough to go around, in doubles even.

BK - Guilty as charged, although in my defense I didn't know we could post pics of naked boobies here.

However, fearless blogger that I am, I shall now endeavor to make up for my selfish indiscretions.

Presenting: Doc's first naked boobies post. (Slightly censored in case it's not okay with management)

Heh, Heh! As I rub my hands together (you, please keep your hands off the screen, and no other smudges) for my photo postings while Bird Dog is on vacation.

Now that is a great advertisement.

of course the prudes in America would call it disgusting and vulgar...but what do they know.
