There’s Internet, and there’s Internet
In honor of having internet in my apartment today for the first time in nearly a month, I thought it be fun to upload some images of my favorite advertising I’ve seen around the city. It’s only appropriate to start off and celebrate being connected with Orange’s [France Telecom] “there’s internet, and there’s internet” campaign.
Only in France would you see sex ed meet “[wo]man’s best friend” in a public service announcement around town by the Mairie [mayor] of Paris:
And who knew encouraging students to buy student transportation passes could be so refreshing, and incorporate contemporary design styles so well. 
P.S. I’m constantly looking for examples of good/interesting/clever advertising – both print and televison – for a class I’m taking, so if you ever come across anything good, please do shoot it my way :)

The French are definitely more open and atuned to their sexuality. If only they were more pleasant…. :)

…and the Sunday soiree? After reading about it in the Times, I was curious to hear your impressions.

Artistic and entertaining, something good to read and look at while waiting for the metro.
