Ok...forgive me but I have to ask...the purpose of the above was...???? !

to make people go on holiday to israel and spend money, thereby injecting money into the israeli economy. 

i think the underlying idea is that quite a lot of men like attractive women. the advertising company is suggesting that, should thoes men travel to israel, there will be more bikini-clad women dipping them than they can shake a stick at. it's  quite clever when you think about it.

No it's not. It's sexist and obvious. Does this mean the only reason to visit Israel would be to see woman half naked? That diminishing for the country as well as women in general.

What was clever about it again?

israel is the centre for all of the three primary monothestic religions. and all the guys are saying "holy cow!"! like, they are in the holy land, and they are saying holy cow!!! you see? like robin would have done in the 1960s tv version of batman. it's more than twice as clever because of that. cuh! you can see why these advertising dudes get paid so much. they're right on the pulse, man.

Nothing but its true. Men will flock to Israel like flies now

Also, Ally_Thomas, wrote "Cheers, Al". Often in colloquial English, people say "Cheers" as a kind of greeting. For example, since about 2008, a lot of people end their emails with "Cheers," before writing their name. Like a less formal "Yours sincerely". "All" is used to mean "everyone". But, as I pointed out, the state of Israel happens to be spatially coincident with the Muslim holy land. In Arabic, "Al", as well as being the definite article, also means "family". So she was making a complex but subtle synthesis of Arabic and English. Cheers all // Cheers family. Get it? In exactly the same way that Israel harmoniously mixes Muslim, Jewish, Christian and.. .er...Armenian cultures. It works on so many levels.

Somebody cant sleep tonight?

Yeah... I might just watch that video one more time.

Is there anything similar for us girls? Im booored!

Knitting and gin.

Nah.... I dont like gin. Tequila on the other hand...

Hey, Maria_, why did the Mexican push his wife off the cliff?

Go on...

Tequila!

Good one!!!

Yeah, I thought so.

Did you hear the one about the wall?

Hayes - the suspense is killing me! Why, why why!?!

Nope tell me

Oh... sorry. I've forgotten how it ends. :(

Alright, anyway. So there are two fish in a tank, right, and one says to the other "do you know how to drive this?"

Lol!!!

Yeap im easily entertained :P

It's OK. The more we post the more it fills everybody's inbox with crap (probably).

If you're bored, you could start an alphabet thread. I don't remember an alphabet thread on glocals.

Plagiarsit, desparado, assholi! I've copywrited or copywritten or copywrote, if you want the imperfect, that joke and my lawyers will be issuing a take down with full and enourmously disproportional damages very soon indeed!

I didn't say I made it up, did I... Here it is, with Richard Wiseman explaining exacty why it's funny. 

And if you'd have been here last night you could have delivered it yourself, in your own particular ... idiom? But you weren't, were you. Oh no.

Plus, the whole advocatus assholi days are over. Latin isn't cool any longer.

see whenever you can laugh at it :

One REAL m**f** meets another m**f** and says "HI" !

It is-Real or israel ?

Is Royal.

Since it's pretty much a dig at Iran, one would expect all these Israeli chicks to be participating in Boobquake 2010. Say what you like about science, it delivers testable hypotheses -- this is potential end-of-the-world scenario to rival the black holes being made right now in the LHC.

That sounds like fun! But i dont think i should really try it at work

Reminded me of this ad from the Danish tourist office, which was pulled for advocating promiscuity... I still prefer the Israeli ad...

So... boobquake 2010 passes and a 6.6 mag earthquake strikes off the coast of Taiwan. Looks like Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was right. Something has to be done about these women.

I was in Israel last summer and can confirm that I've never seen so many pretty girls elsewhere and I'm a girl

I agree seems a lil twisted... and some what offensive

Summing up from this thread so far: Israeli girls are pretty, and Danish girls are easy. Does anybody know which countries tick both of those boxes?
