Fleggaard

[Thanks to Benny.] Famous blogger Mike Arrington has made a Danish commercial famous.

It has lots of topless ladies, which I'm all for, except there's the usual amount of silicone. Why, oh why?

There's also the usual amount of complaints that the commercial is sexist. "Objectifies women" and all that crap. They really need to get out of those tight shoes as the Danish say. I wouldn't think it sexist if it contained young hunks. And when things do, they are indeed not called sexist by anybody. I suspect that the complaint is simply an attempt to cut down competition.

By the way, Arrington thinks $900 is not all that cheap for a washing machine. That would be true in the USA, but he doesn't know European prices, and especially not Danish ones. Americans don't know how insanely cheap they get everything.
