George W Bush farewell by Will Ferrell

Bon bini!

Amazone — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:02:19 +0000

Awe nos por saludar bon bini nobo members di e Vereniging van Gemeenten. Bon Bini Saba, Statia y Boneiru! Na Papiamentu, pasobra quince di dezembre ta e dia nacional di naturalisashion.

They are part of our Kingdom for already 54 years, but now we can move house over there much quicker or find a job, just like is the case with the French overseas départements.Their official status is that of “special public body”.
And no, we cannot go easy gambling at Sint Maarten, because it has chosen to become a country of its own. Korsow is a buitenbeentje altogether, because short through the bend, they are the cause the Antilles as such don’t exist anymore. The island caused too much trouble, problems and made a lot of money spectacularly vanish, so the other islands didn’t have any benefit from continuing an alliance with it anymore. They are about to become a separate country too, but have to allow quite some harsh influence from Holland still in order to be acquitted of their debt. Not everyone is happy with that and the morning news showed they are not even afraid of godwins to show their point of feeling colonized again (where they do have a point).

So now we can go scuba diving on the most beautiful beaches and estuaries of our country: on Boneiru and at Saba, go there by the worlds smallest and most spectacular air strip and ikiro can go cycle up our largest mountain (887 metres), Mount Scenery, following the one road of the Island, called The Road, which is how many?! kilometres long
We have now:
an Unspoiled Queen
two volcanoes
an underwater mountain
19.180 new neighbours (how many hundred on Saba, howmanythousand on Bonaire)
speaking English, no Dutch
The Bottom
Hell’s Gate
Windwardside
St John’s
Fort Bay
Well’s Bay
Oranjestad
Mount Scenery
Mazinga Peak
Two Schools of Medicine, the Saban onebeing a University
Seven kinds of bats
The second oldest synagogue in the Western hemisphere
National parks filled with mangroves, rain forest and corals.

Yeey!

UPDATE: There is only a round table conference today, the Antilles as such do keep existing after today. It all is hopi ingewikkeld…
UPDATE: die databank staat in elk geval niet meer in de weg

TOR, politiek 2.0

farquaad — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:55:07 +0000

Jaja, een staaltje deep cover journalistiek van uw Och-reporters gast! en farquaad.

Ons uitzicht toen we kwamen aanfietsen. De tent werd opgewarmd door één of andere big band, waarna Berget Lewis volledig Engelstalig (trots immers) voor de dagelijkse beweging mocht zorgen.

Daarna kwam Rita live van pakjesboot 14 de passengers terminal binnnengestrompeld. Klapvee op het podium terwijl Rita haar one-liners op het toch wel gewillige publiek af begint te vuren. Gelukkig is het bier gratis.

Rita is klaar en vertrekt. Al het publiek vertrekt met haar. Lullig voor Sandra ‘mosterd na de maaltijd‘ Reemer.

Wil er nog iemand een rots in de branding? (Wel ekkes een aanhangwagentje meenemen a.u.b.!)

Hiep, Hiep, Hoera – Hosmos Day !

Vinnie — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 19:09:09 +0000

Today the famous Gay Pride through the canals of Amsterdam was a great Hosmos happening like always. But sadly it wasn’t a great year for gays in Amsterdam. Gay bashing is on the rise again and dutch lawmakers will not put hate crime laws in place. In fact these government bastards are so cowardly that they forbid the Gay party in the famous Red Light district.

Well I had it, bash the bashers not the victims and put some proper education in place, programs like these should be on School TV:

Theo Thea ! Hiep Hiep Hoera !

We shall never learn. After Rwanda we can even look better and faster at the newest genocide of this century.
And still do nothing.

Away with the Believers !

Betsy — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 21:51:13 +0000

Ok its now *..* weeks after the Elections and no it “seems” finished with cabinet formations. I now declare openly the war to believers (in particular Christinians, Jihad if you like). It should now for once and for all be finished that governance is influenced by believes. In the United States it is happening, and I don’t know how many movies have been made about it, but in the Netherlands any even “notion” of this is absolutely a fucking limit. I like to draw the line now that if Andre Rouvout enters the cabinet, the whole Dutch State is “fair game”.
From now on, I really like to encourage anti-religious (athiast) related posts on Och. Because God doesn’t exist and the government should be fully aware of that (Montesquieu), separation of Religion and State is in danger, goddammit.

Vote Wiser

ThE_ED — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 15:34:07 +0000

The Dutch Elections are almost there, and what a lot of parties to choose from again! No wonder you can take internet-tests everywhere to see which party you should like. And we at Och can’t stay behind, but we’ll just give you our opinion on what party is the best to choose. Because PvdA and CDA get enough media-coverage already we start off with two other major parties involved in the process; SP and VVD. So let’s get down to business and see what these parties really have to offer;

SP shop.sp.nl
First impression: Fairly nice.
2nd impression: Why the single large image?
Products offered: Wow, what a selection! If we forget about the omnipresent tomato it’s actually quite cool; soup bowls, a bicycle, bags, caps and the usual pens. The design is simple but nice and the prices seem fair too. The safety jacket is a bit lame, but seems to be the only item that’s not cool to have.
Conclusion: 5712 Euro’s for a bike?! That’s not really socialist is it? It might be environmental friendly, but I’m still not sure if this is a joke or not. Also, the shopdesign with its highres pic is awful. But well, the cool merchandise makes up for a lot so I’d still say they did a decent job.
Grade: 8 out of 10

VVD vvdshop.nl
First impression: Rather simple.
2nd impression: What’s up with not thumbnailing the pictures?
Products offered: A nice selection, but a bit silly and standard. I know they used to have a nice furry bird, but that’s gone. The Clothes are awful and what’s with the “doe mee” stuff? USB-stick is quite nice, but a bit dull too. Probably the nicest items are the golf-balls and the Tie.
Conclusion: A bit dull, too much standard stuff and no colour-variation in the clothing. The balls are nice, but probably not of much use to many voters. I like that they have more than 1 item of clothing though and the fact that the also provide some handy stuff for their members. (PAper, envelopes etc.) I’d say a bit of a too average shop, but the quantity makes up for some of the disappointments.
Grade: 6 out of 10

And yes, we’re going on, this time with D66:

D66 D66net.nl/materialen
First impression: Dull.
2nd impression: It’s ony for members.
Products offered: How dull, only material that’s of some use to active members and nothing else. And yes; it’s only available to members. Well, you can win a shirt, if you dare.
Conclusion: Where can I spend my money? I want goodies!!
Grade: 1 out of 10

Let’s do two more, by request;

ChristenUnie christenunie.nl/page/7111
First impression: A bit of a boring shop lay..
2nd impression: A lot of nice items
Products offered: They have all the boring standard item, like mints, flyers and pens, but they also have nice clothing and special cycling gear. I’m not sure if Christians are that much into sports, but the thought is nice! I like it when someone dares to come up with something special like this.
Conclusion: The shop looks boring, the url is worse but the cyclingclothes are ok. Too bad that this limits the number of users.
Grade: 7 out of 10

PvdD partijvoordedieren.nl/content/view/128
First impression: Nice, but standard shop lay. But it actually looks semi-professional.
2nd impression: Not too much items but a nice selection of decent stuff
Products offered: Ok, T-Shirts are sooo boring, but these actually look quite nice. The stickers are standard too, and the posters ohwell. T-shirts, stickers and buttons are not too exciting, but I guess the design is quite allright.
Conclusion: Items are too standard, but the shop looks nice, design is cool and they have a MILF on the posters. Slighty more hip than the CU I’d say!
Grade: 7,5 out of 10

SGP sgp.nl
First impression: Boring shop lay
2nd impression: Not too much items
Products offered: Ok, they sell some boring items. The only “nice” thing is their flag and even that one is quite silly. I guess the webshop is closed on Sundays by the way.
Conclusion: I want more, cooler and crazier stuff! But at least they sell items, so this is better than D66.
Grade: 2 out of 10

PvdV groepwildersshop.nl
First impression: Boring shop layout…
2nd impression: Not too much items
Products offered: Ok, this shop might be great if you fancy crazy hairdo’s but otherwise this is just another boring webshop. Standard items and all kinds of stuff with the guys face on it, this is not the US man!
Conclusion: It’s still on the old URL, and the items sold are boring. Ok, he sells his books.
Grade: 2 out of 10
edit: The shop is down: so make that a 1 out of 10.

Rankings:
SP 8
PvdD 7,5
CU 7
VVD 6
SGP 2
D66 1
PvdV 1

Advice so far: vote SP, although some might argue their Maoïst roots may surface again resulting in less cool Merchandise in the future, I think this is a calculated risk you can and should take.

More shops to come…

Walls are often used as an election marketing tool, or – officially – as a boundary, between countries and therefore between people. But walls can also be used to hang your painting upon (we all know Banksy by now) or to use as a netting.
