Heineken rocks as always :) They have one of the best advertisings I’ve ever seen. And this one is just so perfectly done with a very understandable concept.

pretty cool! I really liked the soldier one! That was interesting…but true. Sometimes you have to fight though, you may be scared to death, but you saddle up anyway!

The Coalition for Peace ad and the TP roll are the best by far. Interesting on the BBC news hearing about UK’s Iraq war investigation. We don’t hear about any of this on the standard US news. Indeed. Stop the Iraq war now.
