No. Go back to your homes and continue consumption as scheduled. This is for your protection.

On Saturday, the town of Skarsterlan began fining Hotels.nl 1,000 euros a day for putting branded blankets on sheep. Advertising on livestock violates the town's ban on advertising along the highways.That sounds perfectly reasonable.

"to prompt motorists to indulge in U-turns. Or make that ewe-turns."
+ "4 am would have been more socially acceptable."
= Time to make the doe-nuts.

This form of advertising takes sheer shear courage.
Sheeple already do free advertising, why not allow the animals to get paid for it?
Move over NASCAR, you're about to get lapped on the ad dollars.

Yeah, I cringed at the "ewe-turns" thing too. I looked at the byline, expecting Scripps-Howard or USA Today... no, from the Internation Herald Tribune. Nice.
I couldn't muster much outrage at the idea, though, for some reason. Maybe I'm tired. All I thought was that the sheep looked as happy as can be.
On preview: don't encourage them, nofundy.

I ram a sucker for sheepvertising. I just flocked to hotels.nl, and I mutton buy a hotel room so I can sleep like a lamb.

if it makes anyone feel better/worse, I found the same on the NYT front page at 11 AM PST, and then hopped right over to MeFi to see if anyone had posted it...so that's......a good 8 hours where nothing else happened. in the world.
