Episode II of the "Wonderful Adventures of Charlotte" begins in Romania.
In June 2007 she spent about 3 weeks in a hotel in Barlad (for those who know, it's the newest in town, fancy-shmancy-3-star hotel) and every time she met me she would give another fearful feedback on how bad the food was, on how she could get no extra soap without payin' for it and on how the elevator would only work 10 mins a day. Cool, ain't it?
As if THAT was not enough, a day before going home, she managed to get indigestion and couldn't get out of bed for the entire day.
Her last exact words about the hotel were "This whole place is a friggin' joke!"
Sooooooooo..at the end of this..I, as citizen of the wondrous place known by the name of Barlad, can only say "Hip Hip Horray!"
FLEOSHC!

Charlotte I
Since nothing spectacular almost ever happens to me, I feel telling you, guys, 'bout "The Extraordinary Adventures of Charlotte" might be quite worthwhile and exciting. (I think "challenging" may be the right word here, but hey...I'll let you be the judge of that)
Lemme first tell you who the hell Charlotte is. Well, Charlotte is a 70 year old ma'am who is volunteering around the world (she's volunteered in 29 countries since she retired) with Global Volunteers. She's done teaching in Vietnam, taken care of urangutans and chimps in Tanzania, worked with babies in Tutova, helped a family of archaeologists in Costa Rica and joined the army for a month when she was in her 50s.
Now that you've met Charlotte, please let me tell you about her project in India. To begin with, she said she was absofuckinlutely thrilled with all the culture clips, with the Taj Mahal and with the friendliness of most ppl. Anyways, the project she was takin' part in was organized by Earth Watch and it consisted of gathering all the information a team could get about a holliday (somehow resemblin' Iom Kippur. Friends know why.) when ppl HAD TO feel sorry for their sins.
Thing was...these guys had to perform all sorts of unusual tasks while feeling sorry for their mistakes..like..walking on hot coals, hanging themselves by their feet above a raging fire... However, the most freaky show, our dear Charlotte had to face, was a mass of people literally running through the desert with a 5 year-old girl in a pillow case;those people were part of a tribe which still believed in human sacrifice.
The horrendousness of the happening was terribly increased as one man tried to save the girl from being fiercely murdered; he ended up beaten to death, sacrificed instead of the little girl.

De la tembelizor
Patrate, cerculete cu numere de 2 cifre inscrise nonsalant in ele (12, 16, 18) pretind ca actioneaza impotriva violentei si a sexualitatii nepotrivite pentru anumite categorii de varsta.
Dar, Da, sexul e publicitate. Sexul *vinde* publicitate si *face* publicitate.La fel si "bataile si impuscaturile". Si presupun ca tu, dragul meu cititor, eventual amator de uitat (a se citi "zgait" sau "holbat" ) la cutia ceea cu ecran la capatul tubului catodic, nu ti-ai pus niciodata intrebarea "de ce atat de multe 'showuri' contin *expresii licentioase*, *nuditate*" si alta traznai de felul acesta pompos si bombastic formulate astfel incat sa sune din coada cat de tare pot si sa dea impresia ca poporul e pazit cu strasnicie de orice ar insemna "profanarea puritatii de altfel naturale a omului"(tare ciudat si cliseul asta...e plin de pleonasme).
Asa-i ca doar reclama la emisiunea Laurei Andresan (parca asa o cheama) ti-a atras atentia, ca atunci cand dormeau ai tai ai deschis macar o data televizorul sa vezi ce orgie violenta se intampla in spatele BMW-ului politistilor de la sectiile obscure de politie din filmele americane, sa vezi ce mai fac fetele? Si nu te deranjeaza?
Vrei sa spui ca nu te deranjeaza ca primatele astea mai evoluate (aka "oameni") nu reusesc sa se exprime decat prin sex si violenta? Vrei sa spui ca nu te deranjeaza ca la fiecare 10 minute de emisiune mai apare cat o piesa de lenjerie intima cu purtatorul la vedere? Sustii ca nu e o problema ca mai bine de 50% din ce vezi pe ecran e vulgar?
Atunci te lasam sa involuezi.
P.S. Nu se militeaza pentru excluderea totala a ceea ce este general recunoscut drept "sexy" sau "atragator" din punct de vedere fizic. Se pune doar un punctisor pe "i" in ceea ce priveste vulgaritatea, caci aceasta este reala problema.
