Sporting sentiment gone wrong: "Unless I've misinterpreted it, I'm not sure if Tui's latest "Bomb'jour France (Yeah Right)" billboard is really that appropriate," writes Andrew. "I assume this is a reference to the Rainbow Warrior or nuclear weapons? If so, I guess we should be thankful that neither Japan, Ireland or South Africa made the world cup final.

Deadly terrorist acts and weapons of mass destruction shouldn't be the punch line for a beer commercial."
