Thriving in the margins since 2002…

Bike stolen ? No thanks !

The local police in the Belgian zone “Noorderkempen” organizes a campaign against bicycle theft featuring Fanny Kiekeboe, a creation of Flemish cartoonist Robert Merhottein and one of the most succesful comic stars in Belgium. Just so you know.

I’m not really sure what she means by “Bike locked well ? Now that’s cool !” Sounds like a copywriter should probably have tried a little harder…

  Ok, no copywriter issues there. I am a native speaker of the language this ad is written in, which is Flemish. It translates to:

  “It’s cool to lock your bike”

  Don’t just use Babelfish to translate stuff and start blasting people…
