Good marketing by Licor Beirão

My favorite liquor, Licor Beirão (careful, flash site), just started a marketing campaign using the current chaotic economical situation as theme.

Wondering why the I.M.F. visits Portugal so often?
Dear Angela/Nicolas, Portugal is giving its best. Happy Holidays!

Marvelous "cartoon like" look on both Merkel and Sarkozy.

Hurrey for Portugal!

Creation and innovation should be free

How creation evolves: Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story in 1842, "The Masque of the Red Death", then in 1964 Roger Cormen directs a movie based on the story. A gothic band, Theater of Tragedy, releases in 1996 the album Velvet Darkness They fear (great cover by the way) with the song "And When He Falleth", that you can hear in the video bellow, with a set of dialogs between Prince Prospero and Franscesca taken from the movie.

This way the work of E.A. Poe not only live in literature but in other form of art, through out the times.

Thus does society evolve, building and rebuilding.

I know... nothing related to windsurf but it's has been really a poor month of wind so one does what one can to keep busy and entertained.
