KIEV, Ukraine - The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is protesting a Dutch television ad that advises women to keep their husbands from attending the Euro 2012 football championship in June because they are likely to be seduced by Ukraine's beautiful women.
In the clip titled "Keep Him Home," the Netherlands Energy Company offers a free beer tap to customers who sign up for its services. If Dutch men were able to tap their own beer, the ad implies, they would be more likely to watch the games at home instead of travelling to Ukraine.
An Internet search of "Ukrainian woman" shown in the clip yields dozens of photos of women in erotic outfits and poses.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Voloshin said Wednesday the ad was "humiliating and discriminatory."
The Dutch Foreign Ministry declined to comment.


I would love to have seen this ad--it sounds like there might be some thin skin and jumping to conclusions on this one by the Ukrainian government officials.

Here you can judge the commercial (not even NSFW needed)

The ad targets Dutch women and encourages them to make their husbands stay home and get pissed every night with their men friends.    It sounds like a Trojan Horse scheme invented by Dutch men..

This commercial is actually causing upset with girlfriends of guys who have scheduled a trip to Euro2012.

Subtle....especially for the Dutch.

The government is probably secretly glad to have another target to point fingers at rather than having to endure the slings and arrows coming their way over ineffective planning, theft of funds, poor service levels and the price-gouging they're attempting.....

The Dutch government can indeed use a break.
