'Offensive' Tui billboard takes a hasty flight

Why is it offensive? - Sofia Gkiousou

"who labelled the provocative billboard "appalling" and said it demeaned the holiness and meaning of Christmas." Oh give me a break! - Sofia Gkiousou

As a strictly non-religious person, I say; "Hell yeah that's offensive". It's not like it's challenging creationism or anything, it's just needlessly offensive to a lot of people for no good reason. - Sean

Nothing says "I am stupid and have personal issues" like having most of your body tattooed. - Robert Miller

WTF? - Mona N.

I believe in some dictionaries you would see this very photo next to the word "Fail". - Nicholas Kreidberg

Freaky - Jemm

Just because some one has most of their body tattoed doesn't mean the person has problems. That's putting a streotype on a person, or trying to label the person because of how they look which our society does a lot unfortunately. I mean I could look at any one of you and make very incorrect judgements about what I see, how you act towards me. Even judging how rich or poor you based on how much stuff you do or don't have and the truth is I could be very very wrong. - Colide81 (James)

i agree with Collide. while this guy has a rap sheet and all, there's lots of people who are covered with tattoos and happen to be some of the nicest, smartest and worldliest people i've known. - Cee Bee

I liked the old one.. was getting used t it nicley.. could have asked us to give em feedback first lol.. :o/ - Rob Sellen

I preferred the old one as well - Duncan Riley

And how hard would it be to just give the user the choice as to how it looks? - James D Kirk

It's just a case of getting used to it. I think. I didn't like it originally but it does grow on a person - Paul Sharrock via IM

I was quite disappointed about the change as well. - trextor

Ugh -- not a fan either. Much like with the stink I raised over the iGoogle shift a while back, I'm not sure why they can't give us an option here, as James said above. - JR R.

I was happy with the old one. Don't much like the new look even though it is a subtle change. Wish they would put a "change back to old view" like Yahoo does. - Jeff P. Henderson

I like it, except the line items need to go back to their smaller size. - Jordan Hofker

Just seems like change for change's sake. The look isn't an improvement on the previous style. It's too washed-out now. Bring back the colored background for the left column at least. - Rowan Hanna

some themes can be added just as what had been done with Gmail. - pestwave

Missing the old google reader. We had just gotten to know eachother well. We were vibing. - Ebm

I looooooove the chocolate-vanilla twist cones. I miss when Hardee's (aka Carl Jr) used to have those. Now they have stupid Hershey regular (hard) ice cream. Grumpgrumpgrump! - Ladybug Heather

We have a Foster's Freeze down the road from our house. It is literally the only place in town for a proper soft-serve cone (McDonald's? Bleh). I'm still a massive fan of the choc-vanilla twist dip cone. :) - Amanda H.

feel strange to speak now, but may it rest in peace since advertiser like to make ads that provoke the very integraty of everything, including the life and beyond. perhaps, the only senses ppl should feel is to avoid it. somehow i think this is just a game they get ppl going thinking is more entertaining, but in fact if they kill a dog in the ad, that would be 4A too. but just the amount of info we see, killing and death is always a promo for a happier afterlife - jimmy howe via twhirl

Yes they are - Chris Saad

Orkut's big in Brazil! (Every time I read that - I think of indie bands saying "oh, we have a big single in Belgium...") - George Smith

Orkut is popular in some countries outside the US I think, Brazil and India for example. Big populations. - jjprojects

the world is a social network, google is info-ing the world, natural result - Gregory Lent

Are you comparing the size of Brazil to Belgium or just noting that Brazil is not the U.S. or the E.U.? - Robert Miller

Google has certainly created a network. Are they attempting to make it social? Not quite sure. However, they're moving in the right direction with the Profiles and Friend Connect. Also, they've already got a "social network" - Orkut, which I know is quite popular in India. - deepikaur
