That name in the first picture: Emanuel Jumatate... Sounds a bit phoney. Jumatate (missing diacritics quietly accepted) is the Romanian word for 'half'. That's quite an uncommon name even by us - not that it couldn't be real, of course. But I always feel this underlying question waiting to pop up: why are there always mostly (or only) uncommon names that come up in the news, when odds would be against that?
Anyway, who wouldn't hug an (empty) box in front of a camera, for a few bucks and the chance to get their own fifteen minutes of fame...?
Second place in my hate list after 'lies' is 'advertising'. However they're synonymous in most cases.
Why does the forum software automatically remove non-English characters????? I needed to type the correct spelling for a word in my language and I can't, it's always "leveled" to English. WTF???

It's quite a coincidence that you brought up advertising. I was just sitting here thinking about healthcare. As you may know, it's become something of a hot topic here in the States. I was thinking about the big hospital down the street here. They (administration?) have advertisements all over the place with people smiling, playing golf, families hugging, et cetra. When I went there for some care, they want to run test, get x-rays, PET and CAT scans even when they are most likely unnecessary and you get the feeling that you're nothing more than a number.
Can't help thinking that if the money spent on sending the messages that you will be happy, you're family will be more loving and the various other horseshit spewed were spent on the care of patients, things might be better somehow.
