Greeks say provocative ads cause 10% of accidents

If you want a regular "What the UK has Banned this Week", today British Board of Film Classification has banned the game Manhunt 2 for "unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying".
It is the first game to be banned in 10 years since Carmageddon.
2 weeks ago we banned the new video for our Olymipic logo (2012...no I don't want them in London), as it caused epilepsy.

They should attach ads like this to traffic lights and have them come on when it turns red and then off again when it's green...just think of all those wasted minutes we spend at red lights. We might also get fewer people not paying attention when the light turns green.

Being Greek myself i can confirm that our accident rates are terrible. Ageing road network and absolutely no government strategies on road safety or drive-safe mentality have resulted to this. Hopefully things are changing slowly but steadily.
The report on the ad controversy is a bit misleading though.Let me just fill in that the main problem is that anyone can show up, put up a huge billboard wherever suits him thats it. No one takes it down, the authorities have done nothing about it for years and there is a very large number of these boards in almost every four-way crossroad. THe situation is at its worst in Poseidonos Avenue which runs along the seafront where tens of open-air nightclubs are situated. So imagine a typical summer Saturday night, thousands of drivers that had a few too many... and it does not take much for accidents such as the one the lawyer's kid was killed...

LexusAdmirer,

Lexusadmirer, I’m not Greek, but I studied history for a long time, I can tell you those "souvo eaters" did more to shape the world today by ten fold than any race did or ever will. Those "greasies" were the forefathers of all that we see today from medicine, maths, music, democracy, town planning, for heaven sake Pythagoras was talking about the square root of an adjacent angle in 400 BC.
As far as conquering the world goes, have you heard of a guy called Alexander the Great?
You should pick up a book and read instead of disrespecting such a golden race, but that maybe rich for someone who like such a crap cars like lexus (a Camry with leather), what a bomb.

Greeks buy German. By the way, there won't be Lexus for long once the Chinese kick the shit out of Japan.

Sorry Japan (and Japanophiles), retribution is a bitch.

LexusAdmirer, your only comeback is that we own restaurants and we eat well. God forbid we know how to live!

Hey tsingouni, lets kick the shit out of this malaka and then make him eat his own souvlaki. This putso-kleftis doesn't know what he's in for.

USA is for Americans, I agree. Get your Japan-loving ass out. And you try and say some bullshit about us being fat, stupid goat-fuckers?

We invented civilization when you and your people (what ever you are) were still swinging from trees and eating each other's shit. Don't start.

By the way, China invaded tibet, and more recently, China invaded Vietnam (right after America left Vietnam). Let's not forget in the 1960's when China had a brief period of conflict with the Soviet Union. Oh, and I forgot, in the late 1950's when China was actively engaged in combat over Taiwan.

If you recall from history class (which the greeks invented) you would know, this war in Taiwan is how the Russians got ahold of the Sidewinder air-to-air missile.

Of course, you seem like a learned individual, so I don't have to tell you these things.

I hate to say it, but because you insult us Greeks, I will. Your average American is a huge fatass, cow-f***ing, hee-hawing, shit-shoveling redneck. Go f*** your mother (because I probably will be later, you'd better get your soon).

One more thing Camryadmirer,

You seem to mention America this and America that, and asking the golden race to get out and go back to their beautiful island filled relaxed country that was once the home of Atlantis.
You sound like a racist KKK,I think you hate all non Americans, well look at history loser and you’ll see Indians were here before you dickhead, so really who are the true Americans?

I think we have given your trailer trash, redneck, racist ass to much air play so go a drool over your cheap copy cat, plastic fantastic benz wannabe and maybe if you sell your ass enough you maybe able to afford one or even better wait a few years and you can buy one for a dollar.

See you coward………………….LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
