Fleggaard - Topless skydivers descend to Earth

Unusual spin to a Fleggaard's TV commercial selling Siemens washing machines

Crossing the northern border of Germany and into Denmark, is a giant supermarket called Fleggaard, where one can buy everything you can imagine, from "Gummi Bears" to wines by the case, through industrial soaps, all at 30% less than regular prices.

It is a "Costco", a Danish company established precisely to fool the German government. Participating in this ad are 100 women paratroopers, they hold hands to form a picture that reads "Dishwashers Siemens’ $ 269."

In the auction, the notice says "Right on the edge" (an obvious allusion to the border with Germany.) Is it not?

In Denmark there is not a single man who had not seen the commercial while falling in love with it. And the big surprise is that it was precisely; set to hit the male viewers. The following link may see what has been considered the best commercial of all time.

Five Year Old Sings The Star Spangled Banner

The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics 

By Francis Scott Key 1814 


Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light 

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? 

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, 

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? 

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. 

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 



On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, 

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, 

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, 

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, 

In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 

'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 



And where is that band who so vauntingly swore 

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, 

A home and a country should leave us no more! 

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. 

No refuge could save the hireling and slave 

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: 

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 



Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand 

Between their loved home and the war's desolation! 

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land 

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. 

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, 

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." 

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 

 

 

James Corbett - Auto Part Sculptures

James Corbett Auto Part Sculptures
 
Photos of the items below were all fabricated from junk 1950 and 1960 automobile parts by James Corbett, a gentleman in Australia.  He uses remnants of old cars of the 1950's and 1960's.
 
He converts parts of cars that were scrapped into sculptures worth thousands of dollars using salvaged old car parts.
 
One of the pieces, a ram of spark plug, sold for a whopping $23,000
 
His sculptures are made of gears, spark plugs, exhaust, radiator, anything that the artist can achieve.
 
After spending weeks dedicated to locating suitable pieces, James meticulously cleans every part and welds them together.
 
"I was working in a warehouse of scrap and someone I knew who ran stock car races, showed me a Trophy winner with different levers. I looked at it and I thought that I could do a much better job so I started making my own sculptures", he said.
 
"After a period of time, people began to get more and more into what I was doing and now what do I it for a living, it's a dream come true."
 
"On average, each piece takes a little over two weeks of work, but the larger pieces can take much longer”, he says.
 
James like to weld using the scrap pieces of old British and French cars; which are his favorites.
 
James says that fabricating the sculptures is not the part that consumes most of his time. "Often the longest part of the process is finding old parts suitable for sculpture."
 
The sculptor is exhibiting his work in the Gallery John Davies in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, England, until December 19.
 
"My two favorite pieces I've created for this exhibition are the ram and the wild boar,” he says.
 
Corbett lives in Ningi, Queensland, Australia with his wife Jodie.
