U know tuffy dat Puma attempted to do a link before with dance hall at the Athens Olympics it was an abject failure.. no one neva turn up well 20 people ....There is a flim bout hit from UK television... It was around the time that the bum bye bye broke and Puma switched from dance hall to one love.....
the film was an amusing way to see that success has a thousand mother and failure is an orphant....Comment

Here is part of an article in the Guardian about it.
Puma sent dancing to the wrong tune
Martin Kelner
The Guardian, Sunday 21 November 2004 21.25 EST
Homosexuals, one presumes, wear training shoes, which could be bad news for Puma, who wished to associate their products with the famed joie de vivre of the Caribbean, and so recruited some of Jamaica's best-known dance hall artistes to endorse their range of fancy pumps and sweaters.
Unfortunately for the sportswear manufacturer, the dance hall business appears to have moved on a bit since Max Jaffa.
The acts they enlisted, trading under colourful soubriquets such as The Assassin, Beenie Man, and Elephant Man, tended by and large to eschew the romantic lyricism of a Jerome Kern, for example, in favour of fairly unambiguous exhortations to go out and murder gay people.
Joie de vivre did not come into it. Quite the reverse. "Send for the automatic and the Uzi. Shoot the batty man," "Burn a fire on a poof," and Beenie Man's delightful "hang lesbians with a long rope" were sample lyrics. Not exactly Cole Porter. Especially not Cole Porter. Despite Puma's assurances that none of the above represented official company policy, you got the feeling they might be sacrificing any claims on the pink pound.Comment

"One wishes Jamaica's sports people well, of course. As for Puma, on the evidence of the documentary, their sponsorship was a botched attempt to catch up with Nike and the others, at a reduced price, by hitching their falling star to an economically deprived island in the Caribbean. For them, I suspect, few tears will be shed."Comment

the problem is the noise on the homophobic posturings of these forgien exchange generators misses an interesting film,, Watching the clip in the thread with Bolt marketing Puma, I recalled the documentary... and the abject failure at this first attempfit,,,,in fact my thoughts are Bolt markets dance hall as much as Jamaica and dance hall is his soundtrack....
I would like to rewatch that film....I will seach for it on Mashup TV and icefilmComment

personally i think she is more of a dirty blonde or red-head...but why is her hair color the trait being used to identify her? i mean hair-color is easily changeable...why not "woman" or "chick" or "yt" or "oyinbo" or "mzungu" or some other such more-- errr-- permanent descriptive adjectiveOriginally posted by Tropicana View PostUBolt and Blonde!Comment
