What do you think about this publicity video?

Post by Javaness2 »

The European Go Congress has its own video (worksafe) , which is presumably commissioned from a (sort of) PR firm.
It consists essentially of
0-23 women in bikini swimming in one of the pools available at the resort where the congress will be held.
24-43 cleaner in hotel finding a room full of go stones.
44-59 woman in bikini finding a stones flooding out of locker.
60-End stones flooding out of the resort.

Is it:
A fun way to show the facilities on offer in the resort
Sexist rubbish
A clever play on Czech history
bound to increase attendance at the EGC
bound to gain publicity for the EGC

I don't know enough about Czech history to comment on that one, but otherwise, yes! :tmbup:

Seems like an awful waste of a lot of clam shells.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

I haven't seen any movie in almost 20 years.

Reminds me: The Shining - Elevator Scene (might be nsfw).

I'm not really fond of this ad. It doesn't have any Go-content. But the first point is true.

Master Hwang In-seong watched the film and showed us two very interesting tsumego problems in his yesterday lecture.
[Start of the new season of Yunguseng Dojang.]

East Asia movies tend to be quite martial :-)
Don't expect a historical correct documentation about the history of Go or something like that. It's blood everywhere .. like in real life :-)
Nonetheless it seems good entertainment. And it even has those two tsumego problems.

Cheers,
Rainer
