I think it’s high time we start boycotting some German companies in Greece and worldwide, specifically one. That is SIXT rent-a-car for ‘misleading advertisement, deceiving consumers, lack of taste and … pure stupidity’. The German management of the company had the genius inspiration to give the green light of an Ad that claiming that people can rent a SIXT-car and pay in Drachmas.
The ad shows the Acropolis and a caption:
“Dear Greeks, SIXT accepts Drachmas again – BMW Cabrio for 26,900 Drachmas per day”
The Ad was published not only in the website of SIXT (www.sixt.de) but also in German daily DIE WELT.
from ProtoThema
Pantelis Pantelouris, Press Counselor of the Greek Embassy in Berlin, already made a statement on the SIXT’s advertising campaign and said:
“This is probably a misunderstanding. In order for someone to accept the SIXT offer, Greece should change its currency first. Fortunately there are enough other rent-a-car companies where the consumer can pay in the country’s currency, that is the Euro. Greeks will most likely choose them also because their prices will be more competitive”.
If SIXT wants to undermine its own presence and revenues in Greece…. please, be my guest.
This is an insult! Shame on them booooooo!
Lets start boycot (do I spell it write?) NOW ! Bloody b…
Let us use all “social” media for this …
I already started a boycott through Twitter
It was NOT only the German SIXT. Last night I downloaded the French version from sixt.fr!!!
Today they seem to have removed them from both the German and the French site.
But when a big international company dares putting ads like these on websites and in newspapers there must be something very disturbing going on. No, I don’t mean some kind of conspiracy, but they must think there is a universal acceptance of this view: Greece get the f*ck out of the Euro and back into your Drachma cave…
But maybe they are right and everybody IS actually thinking that…
So it might well be time to start boycotting SIXT and maybe picket at their desk at Athens Airport and others around the country and ask their clients to cancel their car and pick one from the other companies.
fully agree – I will start using openly F-words…
Please do ! French, Faros, Friend, Fck, flow, fall etcccccccc
Keep cool!
SIXT is known for it´s impertinent advertising.
Just compare their advertising with “Benneton” in the 1990 (blood on clothes, in referrence to the war in former jugoslavie)
I’m starting a boycott of all German products immediately. And both I and my company will stop using Sixt.
Do you know that the publisher of “Focus”, Markwort, wrote in the same issue he got sued for, that this computer-virus should be called “greeks” and not “trojan”?
Hopefully all the huge car and moto-bike rentals will die soon. I hate it to the core because they have destroyed Greece with that shit. Wandering 8 hrs in Sfakia, finding a lonely beach without starring bastards that miss their t.v. set and then this lazy and decadent german scum comes with some rent shit. Btw: starring is what germans like most beside talk talk talk
ugly as beaches full of umbrellas and beds
