Big Ad

Made in New Zealand by Carlton & United Brewers (famous for Foster's Lager) as an obvious take on you-know-what:

It may not work on Firefox.

For the classically challenged, the music is "O, Fortuna", the opening chorus of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana".

 

Thanks Tones, now I know the lyrics to one of my favourite choruses.

 

Class!

 

You mean Glass, don't you?

 

excellent, what a great ad, yep works in firefox fine!

 

I can do better:


0 Fortuna, velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem, potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus, vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbratam et velatam
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis et virtutis
michi nunc contraria
est affectus et defectus
semper in angaria.
hac in hora sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!


O how Fortune, inopportune,
apes the moon's inconstancy:
waxing, waning, losing, gaining,
life treats us detestably:
first oppressing then caressing
shifts us like pawns in its play:
destitution, restitution,
melting them like ice away.

Fate, as vicious as capricious,
you're a wheel whirling around:
evil doings, worthless wooings,
crumble away to the ground:
darkly stealing, unrevealing,
working against me you go:
for your measure of foul pleasure
bare-backed I bow to your blow.

Noble actions, fair transactions,
no longer fall to my lot:
powers that make me only to break me
all play their parts in your plot:
now it's your time - waste no more time,
pluck these poor strings and let go:
since the strongest fall the longest
may the world share in my woe!

 

Ofcourse!

 

Thanks Tony. Seriously this time.

 

That's really awfully good
