Ein hammergeiler Trailer zum neuen Sönke Wortmann Film “Ein Sommermärchen”, soeben veröffentlicht beim SPON und da ich bisher noch nicht gecheckt hab, wie/ob man ausm SPON die eingebetteten (geschützen?) Videos verlinkt, hier also ganz old-school der Hinweis auf einen zumindest vielversprechenden Trailer – und so ganz nebenbei wird uns auch noch verraten, was damals auf Lehmanns Zettel stand.

Die WM 2006 hat mich echt nachhaltig beeindruckt.

Und….Toooooooooooor!

…so the ********** Deutsche Bahn had some usual problems providing reliabooool (read: punctual) service and I ended up spending 2hrs in the City of Hannover – one of the 12 cities in Germany that host the 2006 World Cup event.

I even managed to follow the last 10 minutes of France vs Portugal (*yawn*), but my attention was caught by this nice marketing gag within the city centre: stickers, neatly placed some 11m away from each trash can on the pavement and the equivalent stickers saying “Tooooor!” (goaaaaaal!), Volltreffer! (direct hit) or “Einwurf” (throw-in) on the cans. Beautiful idea!

Yes I know, Germany dropped out of the cup but it still makes me happy to see it being such a great host to the World Cup and actually coming up with such cool marketing gimmicks. Makes me sink of another “adopt-a-trash-can-business-idea-for-Kenya” bubudiu…

How to confuse Gamaans…

True worrrshippaas of Kikuyumoja’s Realm might remember this entry, where I highlighted that Kenya and Germany do in fact share similar national flags.
Upon opening my snail mail box this morning, I found the following “How-to-confuse-Gamaans” instruction – carefully prepared by my dearest fan Mbuzimoja:

Kiptoo – this sure is something for Mtandao.de, sindiyo?
