Bank Zachodni WBK Bank Advertisments - witty, fun and all stars

A note on friend's Facebook pointed me to Bank Zachodni WBK's advertisments. This is a Polish bank that once has decided to use well known actors to promote it - which I would have probably known if I was still living there, but instead a French man visiting Poland for holidays made me aware of the BZ WBK ads. I googled them and had real fun watching them, I thought it is a bit of a shame that it only can be appreciated in full by the Polish, so I'm posting them here with transcripts, translated where needed.

Gerard Depardieu: Obelix and The Deluge

Gerard Depardieu: How do you want to pay your clients 100 zl for opening an account
Member of the audience: Maybe like you sir, when you were playing Obelisk*.
Voice: We will pay you as well whole 100 zl for opening new "spend and earn" account, then every month we will pay you for using your card and you can use all the ATMs in Poland for free.
Member of the audience: And every month for using a card like Kiemplicze in The Deluge!
Gerard Depardieu: Hi there. Pay!

*Mispronounced. Should be Obelix.

Gerard Depardieu - Samurai and tough guy

Gerard Depardieu: How do you want to pay your clients 100 zl for opening an account
Member of the audience: Like the samurai!
All: This is your money!
Gerard Depardieu: And every month for using the card?
Member of the audience: Like a real tough man!
Gerard Depardieu: I'll pay you, your wife, and then I'll find your mother and I'll pay her too!


The last one is my favourite. Please pay me, then my sisters and then find my mother and pay her too.

Birds Eye's Creepy Polar Bear

I saw this ad on TV few weeks back and I couldn't figure out why I was so uncomfortable watching it. I don't think I would mind having a cute polar bear in my freezer. So why is it so creepy?

There is a Facebook app that I spotted on my friends page and it pulls out statistics about people - imaginary I guess. But still it made me laugh:

Yeti, machete, poison confetti - work of Nathan W Pyle

I can't remember where I saw his work first, but I followed the links and found Nathan W Pyle's blog with some of the funniest posters I have seen in a while. They're witty, smart and to the point and it's just the kind of tongue-in-cheek humour I love.

I guess my favourite of all is the Danger Quiz, the "Yeti, machete, poison confetti" is going to be in my mind forever:

Plus Dur, Meilleur, Plus Rapide, Plus Fort

I bookmarked this video and then forgot all about it.

Drupal Table Crashed! What now? Repair instructions.

I have accidentally crashed my node_revisions table while I was updating an old post today. The error message was huge and at first I panicked... but since I have listened to my own advice I have a backup of my database so it wasn't that bad. Still, restoring a database this large is tedious and, in most cases, unnecessary.

How to align embedded YouTube video with the rest of the article - Short Tip.

I have noticed before that on many websites that have embeded YouTube video the frame seems to never align properly. While this is something that annoys me, I always thought it's due to ignorance or indifference of the blog and website owners and put up with it.
