- AlphaEta, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Hey... you're mean!
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23It doesn't turn to gold. He just accumulates so many 'friends' that he gets 200 diggs just for taking a ***** on his computer and submitting it. It's like that with a few submitters. I don't blame him for it but the digg system needs improvement to allow more variety rather than the same 10 people's name on every story.
There is no such thing as a pro digger. A pro is someone who gets paid for what they do (and if he does then there are some issues against TOS). All he does is spam digg with stories written by OTHER people. - qwertylicious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Q6xbEZ-f0
The IT Crowd for the ultimate win. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18The UK laughs at any country which has adverts for Ambulance services.
- jd33, on 10/10/2007, -7/+21Gotta give credit where credit is due. MrBabyMan is a pro digger. Everything he submits turns to gold.
- jd33, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14No *****, eh? Why the hell does an ambulance service need to advertise?
"When you crack your head, call us instead" - jd33, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Isn't there a shot called a skull fracture? If not, there definitely should be!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Here is a collection of good Drink&Drive awareness ads:
Special table cloth reminding you of what can happen: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/dont_drink_and_drive
A custom beer crown: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/dont_drink_and_drive_beer_crown
Transforming your car into a taxi: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/dont_drink_drive_awareness_taxi
A special Guinness beer can: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/guinness_double_vision
And a series of press ads by Heineken demonstrating the effect of late reaction time: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/heineken_drink_and_drive
French ads demonstrating that drink driving transforms you into a monster in the eyes of your passengers:

- FalseProphecy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7It's not an advertisement, it's a message, sorta like a Public Service Announcement. It's not like there are alternatives to "911" that we can call in an emergency.
- rejoined, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah he belongs to D.A.D.D
Diggers Against Drunk Driving - wiremonkeymommy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3dude... do you even know how Digg works??
- Heggy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Talk about taking attention away from the impact of the ad.
I can guess why you're called keeling0ver. - SpaceDreamer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+62nd is Jack Daniels
6th is Blue Curacao
Last one is Cointreau - keeling0ver, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Contrary to the implication, just because I didn't show the utmost reverence towards the advertisement does not mean that I drink and drive. I'm against drinking and driving, I just thought it would be fun to try and name the brands. It's harder than it looks for anyone who doesn't drink a lot.
- keeling0ver, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Neat ad. I identified Sauza brand tequila as the first one, and Tullamore Dew whiskey as the third one. Anyone else recognize any?
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Wouldn't the ambulance services want people to do stupid *****? You know, to help keep them in business?
- sionnach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27th is Teacher's Scotch Whisky
- meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I would think the UK would also be laughing at the juxtaposition of ambulances with maltesers - the lighter way to enjoy skull fractures.
- gharding, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24th is Fernet Branca.
- blazerin05, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2How is this better? The OP gave a link straight to the .jpg without anything else.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nice selection!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You call 112 in Malta if you want an ambulance.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yup. It's where you take a shot, notice a hottie out of the corner of your eye, spin around to look, and fall off the bar stool.
- wshs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Drunk drivers, and idiots on cell phones, are a danger to ambulances, staff, and patients. The small margin of profit they make is much less than what they spend on avoiding or dealing with these people. (FYI: Most of the fees charged by ambulances go towards insurance. The remaining 15-20% goes toward upkeep of machinery and buildings, replacing perishables, training, and paychecks)
- Narfmaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1We'll have to see whether the next series is any better. :]
- HanSolo69, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Who's up for a drink?
- Tigerstorm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2cool ad
- insanebrain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1nice twist on the description :) dugg
- EarlOfLade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I understand the question, but not the purpose.
Ambulance service is a for profit business were I need to get prices up front to find the best one in case I ever end up in a situation were an ambulance is called for? I'm used to call an emergency number and that's it! No bills, no questions, no nonsense, just a great transport when I need it. - YourTechSupport, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I plead someone make an online generator like that w/ different types of brands.
- ameztoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15th one is Veterano Osborne a really famous drink from Spain

- stoitofardo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ç is actually read as "SS" so i read Frassture.. nice try whoever made that ad.
- Rabid_Llama, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Skull Fracture would make a good name for a metal band
- Dracker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1As they're a public service, they're funded by tax dollars.
Not on a per-job basis I wouldn't think. - geoffreyireland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Is it potentially a bad sign that I know all those brands of liquor?
- Bizdorph, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I see Tullamore Dew, Sauza, JD, Cointreau, and Blue Curacao but I can't get the others.
- Issy1993, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I live in Malta and i never heard of Malteser? Wtf O.0..
We have the private hospital (st james etc) ambulances and the public ones.. - gharding, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Haha. The 2nd to last one looks like the Bud Select logo.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0nice ambulance service, I should say..skull fracture
- Sube6491, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You ***** ASS.
- ameztoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0http://www.bannerblog.com.au/2007/06/typocrash.php
- bacardi2cola, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0actually this picture sucks balls, buried as inaccurate
- KingBunny, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Ambulance.. services?
No private ambulance services without private police services, I say.
>_> - gharding, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Third is Tullamore Dew.
- blazerin05, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Considering we laugh at the UK in general, I can accept that.
- titlesaysitall, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2MrBabyMan prepare to feel my non-existant wrath of copyright infringement. You sir have dodged me once but twice you will not.
- thethorn, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1Same ad, but done in flash w/ extras:
