Barbapapa Saves Your Dates AND gives you treats

I came across these today, on Makeup Stash. Yes, not sure what these have to do with make-up, but that's okay.

I am looking for a new datebook, and would love to use this Barbapapa Calendar, "produced by Sun-Star, a Japanese stationery company, this adorable diary features these colourful creatures in different forms of confectionery and tea-time vessels." (via)





But it's not just the Calendar. Yup. There's candy too, to snack on while you arrange your dates. Sweet times, right?

Noah and the Whale are Tintin fans?

Here's the website front page for the band Noah and the Whale, promising their new album to come, in March 2011. What do you think will come first-the Tintin movie or this album? (via) At the very least, glad to know they're Tintin fans!

Is H&M Better in Canada?

Apparently, since they have these awesome Barbapapa socks. (via)

Asterix or Tintin-Pick one Please

But it's probably impossible. Look at all of the trouble these folks are having as they debate the merits of one versus the other... (via) Where do you all come down on the question: What do prefer- Asterix & Obelix OR Tintin?

"Tin Tin if it was for a discussion, Asterix and Obleix for a fight" "Screw Tin tin. Mead swilling, boar eatin, rock throwing, awesome beardin Gauls FTW!" "Damn this is actually a lot tougher then I would have expected...... Tintin takes it though... but only just."

"A&O never heard of the other one sry." Never heard of Tintin? Really?

Okay, let me just make clear that I have NOTHING to do with the typos here.

Asterix chowin' Down on Mickey D's

Controversy in France over this new McDonald's billboard featuring our heroes, Asterix and Obelix, chowing down on some burgers and fries.

"A new McDonalds advert featuring Gallic champion Asterix enjoying a burger and fries has sparked outrage among French comic purists who see it as an insult to their national heritage.

The billboard shows the fearless Gaul and friends celebrating their traditional banquet at the fast-food chain — with Cacofonix the bard tied to a tree outside as usual.

“My childhood hero sacrificed like a wild boar! What next? Tintin eating at Subway?” said one horrified blogger called sirchmallow.

“How ironic, the indomitable Gauls making an advert for the invaders,” was another outraged comment on Twitter." (via)

Now, Tintin at Subway is just ridiculous. But these guys at McDonald's? As much as I don't like it, I'm afraid I can totally see it.
