This remains my all-time favorite Heineken commercial - from 1989. Back then, it appeared in Dutch magazines. The village is Lytsewierrum in Friesland, Netherlands. Population: 20. Retouched for the ad. The tag line: "It just grew that way historically, didn't it?" #heineken #advertisement

Despite what the sticker says, it was never illegal to listen to Radio Caroline. But Britain's Marine, &c., Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967 made it illegal for British subjects to work on, advertise on, or supply the "pirate" ships. #RadioCaroline #OffshoreRadio

Text on sticker: Warning, it is illegal to listen to Radio Caroline on 319 m

A spoiler alert for MAGA "Christians"

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" - Jesus Christ, Matthew 7:21-23
