They should put up posters of roadside trash. Maybe a trash filled canal or two. Or maybe a colmado with a bunch of tables outside surrounded by plastic glasses all over the ground.

When I read the bit about the beach pics with seaweed I thought - at least it wasn't covered in styrofoam cups and plates!

Last time I was in Punta Cana the seaweed made the water unusable for young kids- if that keeps up the big investment their will begin to wilt. Is it because so much sewerage is entering the water ?

Higher water temperatures combined with increased pollutants cause sargassum to bloom.

That would be a rookie mistake then... That couldn't be more basic thing of marketing... Shame on them...

They have painted over all their Orange and Tricom outlets with a simply dreadful black flat finish colour. With this sunlight and tropical heat? Yes, there should be both an international marketing, as well as a designing position now currently accepting applications for Altice. Truly horrid concepts.

Someone really needs to be embarrassed. I have seen it many times in small businesses where the owner or friend of owner has a primo(a) that "speaks Ingles muy bien". I remember a car wash (sometimes spelled car wahs)/bar in the capitol where they had some painted pictures of sandwiches and drinks, the caption stated Drinks and Snatch.....(now it is always possible this was not a misprint).

There is another video associated with this one which is much more in depth; kinda sick, IMO. When I encountered the original video, I approached a Colombian co-worker as to it's validity. Rarely have I seen someone get more defensive than this guy.
