Keep the Dance Floors “Sucka free”

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Website’s originality? This is a good australian example of modern communication: Drink and Dance Responsibly. That’s en original concept of a campaign for an energy-drink.
Push your dancing presence to the limits during hours and hours with vodkadized energy-drinks.
But do it the civilized way: dance responsibly. We like the site for the nice visual design. If you wan’t to enter the site you have to indicate your age at the welcome page. That’s just a legal prevention or marketing tool, we’re not sure about the origin of this site issue. There isn’t really any explicit sex or porn content on the site. As the site owners say, they just want to keep the dance floors ’sucka free’.

Get drunk but behave. Control yourself. Be a man. That’s western ethos at its best. We love it. This site is really entertaining. The nice girl in police uniform contributes to the good impression we got of this site. Stop loosing your control while drinking. Drink as you want but dance decently. No arousing moves. To round things up, there should be a sexy police man on the front page too. Female visitors would get their sex object too.

But anyways, the visit to the site was fun and the webspectors enjoyed their staying. The fast loading videos of dancers who fail to dance responsibily and the overall attractive site design including the download section for 3 different screensavers with the cute women in police uniform contribute to this enjoyment. Once again, the site is original and well designed so it obtains full five stars out of five from our webspector team. I wish the internet was full of this kind of sites.

Introduction to Asian Cultures

This site has lots of forums for discussing all kinds of issues.

This site has lots of forums for discussing all kinds of issues.

For those who are interested in learning about asian cultures, we recommend a visit to this great site. It’s a blend of blogs, forums, free stuff like smileys for your chatting activities and more of these annoying ingredientes of so many internet sites. So, you might wonder, why do dedicate a review to this site? The answer is quiet easy: it has a huge forum with a total of about 3 Million posts according to the owners, besides the blogs are wirtten by people from Asia or people pretty much interested in asian cultures such as chinese, japanese, korean, vietnamese, hmong, malaysian, indonesian, indian, cambodian, thai, filipino, lao, mongolian or singaporean.
For ourselves it was a little bit strange to read about a special singaporean culture, we thought that was the same as chinese, but we found interesting details about the differences between these two cultures. And we are sure that we are not the only ones who have no clue about what hmong culture is. Well, if you are interested in finding out, go to this site and discover Asia and asian people.
On the overall evaluation, we give this site a four stars out of 5 because of the annoying free smileys ads integrated into almost all of their pages. But that’s the only flaw we could find.
We entered the chinese culture section and quickly found some introduction into the chinese language, with explanations of the signs and audio files with the pronounciation of many chinese words. This is a great feature for language students for any language but especially welcome for a languaga such as chinese which consists only of very short words and since the repertoire of these short words is not big enough to express all possible concepts, chinese language makes use of the different possibilities for pronouncing the same word, changing the meaning with only pronouncing it differently. As far as we know, they have about 5 different ways of pronounciation for each word, with 5 sometimes very different meanings. We will look deeper into this site’s pages and we hope to find all the answers we need. We are sure they offer great guidance for beginning chinese language students.
