talkpoliticsWell, fellow chronic drunkards decent folks, sounds like we got famous!
The BBC is at it again! Waving their moralistic-preachy righteous indignation into our face!
The full piece:
[Error: unknown template video]
Now, I won't waste your time rambling about who ordered said documentary, what their agenda was, whether it presented things in a fair way (the comment sections speak for themselves), and who wins and who loses from such a development.
Funny thing is, the journalists who did this piece seem to truly believe they're making, as the PC term goes, "constructive criticism", while what some at this side of the tourism business divide are calling, "an intentional smearing campaign". But let me remind you folks that there's nothing like bad publicity. There's just... you know, publicity. If the BBC "investigators" truly believed/hoped their investigation would make Western (British?) youngsters think twice before going to booze heaven aka Sunny Beach, I'd say they don't know shit about how youngsters' brains operate. Sooo... expect the number of drunken tourists crawling on all fours along the Sunny Beach alleys at night to double next summer! All the while, vacating all the remaining parts of our amazing coast for the, you know, more normal folks who want to get something out of their experience that goes beyond drinking one's fill with cheap booze and then vomiting it all on the pavement. Win-win. Hoorah?
And while we're at it, and because it's Friday, here's a glimpse of the "decent" Western youth who definitely behave themselves just right when they're not spending that extra week off at our depraved but utterly irresistible Black Sea coast. Generously compiled for your convenience by a site that aptly calls itself Embarrassing Night Club Photos. Enjoy if you can!
What A Special Family!

Mind you, I did spare you some of the more unbeaeable crap. In some cases, quite literally.
And now, reality strikes back.
The overall conclusion: the BBC movie is in fact a scathing verdict on the mindless drunken oblivion of the British youth, and is entirely Britain's problem. Alcohol really forgives no one. In fact, turns out, as filming proceeded, a number of British tour operators had personally met with the investigator and asked them to please leave their hotels and urged them not to reveal to the British public what their youth really looks like. As the larger picture reveals, the problem is not with Sunny Beach, or Phuket, or any other such place; the problem is with the scum that goes there to get wasted.

BBC budget is ALL used for propaganda. Except for the wild nature documentaries, of course, which is cheap to make (lions and crocodiles are not paid for acting).
Bulgarian government, except propaganda, have to spend to maintain army, police, courts, national post, railways, weather forecast bureau, public telephones, general health and VD prevention. Etc.
BBC auditorium is half of the 'western' world (est.)
What the Bulgarian government says nobody gives a fuck. Except Bulgarians themselves, of course. Well, half of them (est.)
The efficiency, or ROI of BBC per capita is incomparably higher.
Hope this helps and sorry for inconvenience.
PS. Please bear in mind that costs are fixed:
making a propaganda bullshit is same thing, while the number of people watching it differs.
Now, that's it, for now.
