Bad enough that they are advertising with the "Listin Diario" (and in so doing helping to pay the Central Bank's own debt), but here at DR1 too?!?! Et tu Robtus?

For a good laugh, click on their banner. There you will learn that they exist solely for the eradication of poverty and HIV (I'm suprised that they need to advertise this. Haven't they been wildly successful at it already?). Funny, they mention nothing about funding Hipolito's reelection, though, of course, that is the impact of what their sister instituion, the IMF, is doing. They also mention nothing about bailing out JP Morgan and the other investment houses that lent money to Maldito Calvo in the first place.

Now Rob, I know times are bad in the DR. But weren't there more upstanding and less hypocritical advertisers that you could land, like, say, the Maffia, or child pornographers?

This can only mean one thing: the Big Bad Bank is on a charm offensive in retaliation for Porfio's posts!

(Porfi - I sent you a PM on a completely unrelated subject).

www.
The people at the World Bank told us today upon placing the ad that they are big promoters of DR1 around the world. Was told that they refer DR1 as a leading news source for the DR, forwarding our news all the time. The reason for their advertising is to promote their brand new website they are launching tomorrow. They also explained that the office in Santo Domingo serves as a regional office and they hope to in the not so far future have the website in English, too.

Like, duh!

C'mon Dolores! DR1 is a monopoly. It is like in the old days when people raved about Nedocas. We HAVE to like DR1.

Of course you guys are doing a terrific job This comment sponsored by DR1 Forums, but hey, as long as I keep getting free coffee at the DR1 Global Headquarters I am OK with the child pornographers, I mean the World Bank ads.

We even have a couple of new funky coffee mugs as well :)

Actually, I think the WB ad is very flattering...

World Class recognition,for a World Class Organization!!!

I am impressed!As one of the 6,200 registered members of DR1 I feel proud!Just proves that hard work and "Brains" are a potent force,even in the DR!

Not agreeing with the Philosophy of an "NGO"is not reason enough to compare them to "Child Pornographers".Better to, "Agree To Disagree,Agreeably"!

In the interests of balance

For those who are interested in both sides of the argument, check out this site as well as the WB's.

Also...

According to somebody that supposedly knows. DR1 is, or would be in the ?Top 3? of recognizable Dominican brands outside of the DR. Presidente and Brugal are #1 and 2.

Apparently this is ?hypothetical? based on a random sampling of 10,000 people living outside of the DR.

I really must turn that into some sort of PR/marketing BS :)

I can see that you're suffering from an acute case of sarcasm insensitivity. Take two Viagras and call me in the morning if you don't feel better. ;)

....yes, that somebody is sammy sosa.

baninter used to be number three, but when that went he was asked what he thought of dr1.
after careful consideration, the kind of which only sammy can do, he replied "........................solido!".
