Thankfully, I don't have to worry about it much anymore, but when sons were deployed, no <permitted> drinking in a combat zone (basically anything having sand...).
Of course, soldiers will be soldiers. Drinking on duty tends to get people killed, so it's frowned on.

This one seems ok... But in general I just don't get the Garfield comics!

It's true. I am not a cat person. More of a dog person indeed!

Jeez, maybe they should have made it an ad for not eating a cholesterol laden 1/2 lb burger with fries. That's got to be 2000 Calories sitting on that table. I guess vegan's probably aren't much of drinkers either.

Why not? With the exception of mead, aren't alcoholic drinks made out of plants?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Well ... yeast isn't a plant, it's a fungus - which is the same domain (Eukaryota), but a different Kingdom (Fungi rather than Plantae) - and that's what makes beer into beer, and wine into wine. Without it, beer is a thin soup, and wine is just grape juice.
And Beer can be "fined" (the suspended yeast removed) with Isinglass, which is a substance obtained from the dried swim bladders of fish. (Most British beers are fined with Isinglass).
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I've had hardly any - and now it will surely stay that way.

Well, notice how she neither eats the food or drink the Budweiser in the video...
They probably couldn't pay her enough to do either.

Well, on a vegan diet there sure as hell isn't anything to soak up the beer...

Yup, it would have hit harder if it were made by a company who makes wine or beer, or something like that.

Why has everyone overlooked the key point to the entire advert?
No - not the lady.
No - not the drunk driving.
Yes - that you'd go through the trouble of drinking that Budweiser orc-swill (let alone enough to get drunk)! Or even allow it within your borders. Brexit is the least of your problems.

So, I don't know when, but they have and that is all that matters, they now do country redirects.
So for example, my Qatar blog, is located at http://qatar-is-calling.blogspot.com/ if you visit it in the uk, it redirects to http://qatar-is-calling.co.uk/ or from Qatar .qa, USA .com etc.etc.
On Adsense, you now also have to verify your sites, not so that the ads will be shown, but to actually earn the revenue off the ads, the ads still get shown regardless. So now, you have to add or at least it appears you have to add each and every blogspot domain to receive any click through advertising. Using Analytics and Adsense reporting, I am now up to 43 domains added to the list of verified domains.
I don't know how many there are, but Google not making this very end user friendly. They could have at least let us use wildcards, so I could simply add http://qatar-is-calling.blogspot.*
I haven't found any specific guidance on dealing with blogger country redirects and adsense site verification
Something to be aware of if you are doing something similar and haven't looked or checked for a while!

It sounds like a total crap!!!
If ads are shown, but you do not get credit for because of different domain names (created by Google), than I even tempted to say: 'Don't be evil'[^]...
By the way - have you added 'co.il'?

Thanks,
I had actually seen this in a couple of places when I was investigating options for managing this, I have since added these things to the template to see how it changes things...particularly in the analytics and adsense reporting.

This has been sent to Mrs Wife.
I knew a French guy who spoke absolutely perfect English, unlike Mercans, without even a trace of an accent. Whenever a lady of the female persuasion was in earshot his speech would *miraculously* switch to a Gallic drawl with plenty of shoulder shrugging and "how you say"'s.

For fun back in my university days I used to do an Aussie accent and got quite good at it. I was thinking of emigrating there from the UK (at that time - this never happened) so I was also researching all things Australian, the culture, the geography, flora and fauna, etc.
I eventually stopped doing this when at a party a friend introduced me to this very pretty girl with, "Hey, you should meet Bob, he's Australian!". It turns out this girl was very interested in all things Australian and my friend thought it would be a great jape for me to pretend I was from down under!
I ended up going out with her for two weeks, keeping up the pretense all this time. It got to be really hard work. I was supposedly from Dalby, New South Wales (randomly picked from a map) and had to describe life there and everything! She was an amazing girl and I wanted to continue my relationship with her indefinitely so I had to "come clean" and hope she forgave me! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
She didn't.  End of relationship and of any "foreign" accent games! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Too bad this doesn't work for accents from third world countries.
