Orangina Does Crazy 'Dollar Shave Club' Knock Off Complete With Bikini-Clad Babes, Cute Animals, Magicians, Acrobats And Giant Pizza

Coming to the aid of Croatia which currently suffers 50% unemployment among the country's youngest workers and the other 50% who are doing all they can to stay afloat, Orangina, with help from Achtung, has brought its brand of crazy to the workplace Dollar Shave Club-style.

There's a guy. And he's walking and talking. There's gymnists. There's midgets. There's bikini-clad hotties. There's a marching band. There's a Llama. There's puppies. There's a guy cut in half. There's a magician. There's a mini marachi. There's a kissing booth.

We didn't read all the subtitles but it sure looks like an awesome work productivity effort. Hope it works.

Poor Eva Green. A great actress who, along with Jessica Alba, will appear in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Pretty awesome. So why poor Eva Green? Because she's too hot for the Motion Picture Association of America which has banned one of the movie's posters which, it seems, reveals a bit too much Eva Green boob.

Specifically, the MPAA banned the poster "for nudity, curve of under breast and dark nipple areola circle visible through sheer gown." Well thanks for being so specific, MPAA. Guess we don't even need to look at the poster to know how awesome it is.

All we can say is thank God there was no turbulence during this flight. Otherwise Alexander's plan to ask for her hand and marry Marieke mid-flight wouldn't have ended up and beautiful as it did.

Under the guise of winning a girls-only trip for two, Marieke takes a trip with her friend courtesy of Thomas Cook Travel Belgium. What, you thought this was just an organic stunt? Not a chance. Not with all the planning that had to go into it. Thomas Cook funded it and the airline and family were in on the whole stunt. Even the ring and the dress were picked out for Marieke.
