An Interesting Site?
Am citit de vreo 3 ori… tot degeaba. Nu pricep care e smecheria.
Se da un post de la Bobby. Zice el, un site interesant. Bine Bobby, daca zici tu… hai sa vedem. Ma duc, intru, citesc. Saitul se misca nitel cam greu. In fine, deci ma dumiresc ca pot sa cumpar un cuvant cu 5 euro, prin telefon. Ok, bine, si ce fac cu el?
Cica: “…odata revendicat cuvantul, site-ul tau devine noua definitie a acestuia.”
Mamaaa…! Pai, asta e ceva super!
Deci:
“…Ce e chestia asta?!
Stăpânul cuvintelor îți dă posibilitatea de a cumpăra un cuvânt pentru a-ți reprezenta site-ul. Din acel moment site-ul tău devine “definiția” cuvântului respectiv și de fiecare dată când cineva dă click pe el, va fi direcționt către site-ul tău.”
Dau click pe el, adica pe cuvant… UNDE? Doar in cadrul saitul “Stapanul Cuvintelor”? Adica…daca eu dau click, sa zicem, la Zoso pe blog, pe cuvantul “blog”, ma redirectioneaza la Bobby? Pare ca nu…
Dar, sa las concluzia mea mai la sfarsit.
Normal, am zis sa fac o cautare de cuvant in cadrul saitului. Si, normal, ce cauta romanul mai intai si mai intai de orice?
Da, exact. Si e liber cuvantul. 
Adica, se poate cumpara doar cu 5 euro.
Dar am zis sa vad si cum e cu variatiunile cuvantului…
Aaaa…nashpa! NU EXISTA?! Cum dracu’, frate… Pai, doar din variatiunile si sinonimele cuvantului asta poti face meleonu’… mina de diamante, daca nu de platina! D-le Andrei Ionesu, poate reconsiderati?
Acuma, serios: intreb si eu, ca prostu’. Ce se intampla daca “Stapanul Cuvintelor” dispare in ceata internetului…la un moment dat? Cum te mai redirectionezi? Lasa tu aia cinci euroi, ca nu mori din asta…
Mi se pare un fel de narcisism dus la absurd.
Ori n-am inteles eu ceva esential?
Ia sa fac si eu un sait… unde o sa vand NUMERE! de la zero inainte…si de ce nu, si inapoi. Un euro numarul… si te redirectez (de pe saitul meu) la saitul tau.
“Stapanul Numerelor” ma cheama…
Anthony Bourdain in reality
Eh… de ce mi-a fost frica…n-am scapat. Sa pun filmulete de pe youtube, vreau sa spun.
In fine, cred ca sunt dator cu asta.
Deci, un film care il arata pe Anthony Bourdain destul de aproape de realitate. Poate nu chiar 100%, dar suficient sa iti faci o impresie.
PS: Filmul dureaza aproape o ora.
Romania show finale
Deci…iar am luat-o in gura…noi romanii, zic™©*.
Reiese ca NOI! ROMANII! Am aranjat itinerariul, locatiile. Si evident…noi am platit la asta. Americanii…au facut o emisiune cu ce li s-a dat. Toti aia care ati injurat la saitul de la travel canal…fuga si bagati scuze alea.
Eu o fac aici. Am facut-o si la ei…nu de altceva, dar ca sa nu se creada ca suntem primitivi.
Deci…sa ma duc sa borasc…ca banii…s-au varsat deja. La minister, zic™©*.
Pe de alta parte…reiese ca merita sa latri de dupa gard…ca se sesizeaza presa…deci, bloagele au un rost. Traiasca Romania! Votati piticu la roblegoofest!
* “zic” ™@G GoguKaizer.
NOTA: Asta cred ca e cel mai josnic, mai penibil si mai jenant moment pe 2008 pt Romania.
The truth? about the “Romania” show
Se ingroasa treaba…
Citat de la ei (americani):
CC said:
Dear all,
I would like to summarize a couple of things I read in a Romanian newspaper (Cotidianul) article about the behind the scenes of Tony’s last episode.
* Tony and his crew had a travel schedule (posted somewhere above) established by both parts (I suppose).
* Romanian travel authorities are paranoid about the country image and wanted to show the best places around to entice American (and other) tourists to visit the place.
* Tony’s philosophy for “No Reservations” is to show some unusual or authentic things he finds on a trip – thus the big conflict with the Romanian part that had their own agenda of “upscale” places.
* He is not allowed to film whatever he pleases (e.g. the mici scene) and gets pissed off because he feels he has no input to the scene/food.
* He probably films some better places but chooses to show a funny story around Dracula-cemetery-primitive food and play it funny.
* Romanians hoping for a positive image as emergent Eastern European country where you can finally discover food/people are disappointed and offended (?), but the show is funny and hilarious to the American viewer
* The Romanian Tourism authorities pay for Tony’s visit $20000 and miss again the opportunity to show the world a balanced view of where the country is at this point in time.
PS. Istvan, your point may be good for another board, mate. Bill Clinton, during a visit to Bucharest said he had a good time in Budapest ..lol
Deci…sa ne pregatim cu totii sa cerem scuze la americani? Douajda mii de parai? Ca sa ne facem de cacao? Din banii nostri? Hai, devine ceva mioritic deja…
Romanian reaction from NY veveritze
In relatie la ce am scris inainte….dadeam si eu cu presupusul (o latratura marunta) la ce a postat Marele Presedinte de retea TV americana…incercam si eu, ca orice fraier, sa spun ceva…
SI PAC!!!

Eh…si zoso se plangea ca e injurat prea abitir…
No Reservations Anthony Bourdain Travel Channel Network Zero Point Zero Productions Romania
Ashea…deci sper ca am bagat cam tot in titlu…
Am citit cu placere luarea de atitudine vis-a-vis de subiect a celor de la Rezistenta Urbana.
Se introduce o noua teorie:
Anume, ca toata aiureala ar putea sa provina de la…ghici cine?
Pai, de la ai nostri ca brazii, truditorii neobositi de la Ministerul de Turism Mioritic.
Ia sa vedem daca pot sa-mi clarific:
• Exista un document. Oficial. Publicat. Pe un sait care tine de guvernamantul Romaniei. Documentul are ca titlu “Cerere de Oferta”. Programul descris acolo arata in linii mari cam ce s-a vazut pe sticla. Dracula, Jaristea, Sapanta, alea.
Acuma…unii* au interpretat chestia ca provenind de la producatorii show-ului “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations”. Adica, ei au scris ce vor sa filmeze, unde sa se duca, ce vor sa vada. Si reprezentantii Ministerului de Turism din Romania (ori cum i-a fi zicand) au lansat o strigare prin ograda in scopul de a pune la dispozitia americanilor niste ghizi, ceva masini, gazduire, ajutor la filmari etc.
Face sens…mai ales daca citesti si ce scriu americanii, care se bat cu caramida in piept ca ei sunt independenti, filmeaza ce vor ei. Ca emisiunea este despre “off-the-beaten path”.
Acuma, pana si eu stiu ca nu e chiar asa…nu la nivel de Travel Channel Network. Adica, nu ma sui eu in tren cu Macabroo si Buciuman, trecem granita in Republica Moldova, filmam si mancam foo 2 zile, legam shoparla de clanta capitaniei portului** si revenim cu show-ul “Rezistenta Bleaga” in traista. Nu nene, nu e asa…
Emisiunea americana are un anumit profil, gandit cu grija; protagonistii joaca anumite roluri. Audienta asteapta un continut de un anume fel. Si nu in ultimul rand, cei care fac reclama in cadrul emisiunii se uita la “rating”.
Dar…ce ar fi…daca am intoarce treaba invers?
Adica…producatorii show-ului american…au luat legatura cu Ministerul Roman de Turism. Si in continuare, discutia ar fi decurs cam asa:
Producator SUA: Bre, facem un show la voi acolo? Va intereseaza?
Ministerul Mioritic: Da, bah, sigur…da’ noua ce ne iese?
Producator SUA: Pai, voi platiti cazarea, ceva transport, alea. Noi filmam, facem continut, voi va faceti reclama, aferim ibrisin.
Ministerul Mioritic: Ahaa…da zicem noi cam pe unde sa va duceti, da?
Producator SUA: Da, bah…nu conteaza ce spagi luati voi acolo si de la cine, aia e treaba voastra. Noi ne facem treaba indiferent de locatie.
Ministerul Mioritic: Gata, bre, ne punem pe treaba, va facem un circuit sa moara bulgarii de invidie…
Producator SUA: Bine, bah, ne-am inteles; o saptamana, nu mai mult, ca avem si altele de facut.
Incepe sa sune plauzibil…
Nu pretind ca asta a fost discutia reala. Cumva insa…luand in considerare tacerea de aur de la Ministerul Turismului pe marginea subiectului, ca si anumite chestii provenind de la partea americana…incepe sa faca oarecare sens.
* Blegoo printre ei.
** Cf. Urmuz.
Travel Channel Network
Asadar, dupa declaratia producatorilor emisiunii, avem acuma o declaratie a presedintelui retelei.
Care presedinte, face aluzie la o incercare organizata “…to deflect from the Romania show.”
Cat p-aci sa ma umfle rasul. Daca nici asta nu e un exemplu de “teoria conspiratiei”…
Dar hai sa nu repezim, nu?
“…Where I draw the line is when people with an agenda attempt to smear the reputation and intent of the network …”
Prima mea intrebare ar fi: Care agenda? A cui? Cine beneficiaza din toata galagia asta? In mod cert, nu Romania. Ori te pomenesti ca e ceva din categoria “gouging” despre care Anthony Bourdain vorbeste in insemnarea de pe blogul lui?
Se face referire la un document trimis la Ministerul Roman de Turism.
“…what appears to be a network document sent to the Romanian Tourism Board.”
Intrebarile ar fi (in ordine logica):
• Este documentul autentic?
• Ce anume EXACT reprezinta acel document?
• Cine anume a compus programul descris in documentul respectiv?
In momentul asta, concluzionez ca situatia a depasit scopul acestui blog. Noi nu suntem calificati sa urmarim povestea mai in detaliu. Credem ca cineva din presa ori televiziune ar trebui sa puna cateva intrebari celor de la Directia Generala de Promovare Turistica. (e-mail: promovare@mturism.ro web site: romaniatravel.com)
Contacte exista:
- Persoana de contact– doamna Nicoleta Ortopelea, telefon 20.25.229, fax 20.25.226, e-mail: [nicoleta.ortopelea@mturism.ro].
- Director general adjunct – Sorina PAUL
In momentul in care presedintele unei retele de televiziune americane ia atitudine, credem ca e momentul sa punem intrebari si partii romani, nu?
Nu de alta, dar s-ar putea sa fim surprinsi.
No Reservations in Romania (en)
After a certain delay, “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” show producers have published somethig akin to a press release, following the uproar over the romanian episode.
As I thought, their declaration is a good mix of lawyerese and sincerity, the exact procentage being hard to determine.
In their own words:
Posted 02-29-08 12:26 AM
We have been following the exchanges on the boards regarding the Romania episode. Clearly this show elicited some strong reactions and we appreciate the feedback both positive and negative. It is particularly dismaying to us to read of good hearted Romanians and fans who tuned in expecting to see a depiction of a country they know, love and recognize as their own but were disappointed.
People who are familiar with Tony’s shows (dating back to A Cook’s Tour days) should know that Tony and Zamir have a longstanding relationship and have traveled together on more than one occasion. For better or worse the show was an honest portrait of Tony’s trip to Romania with his old friend Zamir along as a sidekick.
For the record, we DID hire a number of Romanians to assist us with this production and looked to them for guidance and scene suggestions. However, our attempts to set up authentic experiences and off-the beaten path locales typical of No Reservations were, more often than not, foiled at every turn. It was a source of frustration that our requests for “everyday, working class food-related” scenes were again and again either discouraged or seemingly impossible to arrange. The prevailing wisdom was that “the best French restaurant in town” or patently “set up” scenes were preferable to what most Romanians would recognize as reality. Although certain commentators would assert that we ignored their suggestions in favor of our own agenda, this was certainly not the case. If anything, we worked more closely with official tourism entities than we usually do. Most scenes and locales were strongly recommended by them. The scene at the “mici” joint, which we shot against the explicit wishes of our minders, remains an example of a show that for good or bad, might have been.
We do out best to make shows that are both informative and entertaining. In some people’s eyes, we failed on the Romania show. We didn’t show those people the country and scenes they wanted to see — instead we showed them what we experienced during our brief time in Romania. We are not in the business of making fun of people. That is not our hope or our intention when we visit a country new to us. We well know that our very best shows are the ones where we are allowed to see people as they are—not as our official hosts or government representatives wish us to see them. In this instance, the results were often absurd and we showed what we experienced. Romania has survived far worse than our travel show. As the Executive Producers of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations we stand by the show we made.
Chris Collins & Lydia Tenaglia
Executive Producers / Directors

Plenty of words from the category “peace, prosperity and friendship”.
However:
“… Tony’s trip to Romania with his old friend Zamir along as a sidekick.”
This is important. All those criticizing the choice of a russian as a “local guide” should understand what an entertainment TV show is all about. Anthony Bourdain plays a role; Zamir plays another. Everything is done according to a script. Nothing unusual, this is how the work is done. Perhaps those who believe that wrestling shows are about real fights would think that “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” is spontaneous and totally real.
Yep! Sure!
Obviously, Ms. Lydia Tenaglia and Mr. Chris Collins ARE NOT LYING when say:
“…instead we showed them what we experienced during our brief time in Romania…”
Indeed. What they don’t say is that “the experiences” were a direct result of their own screenplay/itinerary! There are two possible scenarios:
• The show producers had control over their own travel in Romania…
• Romanian officials had decided what, where and how the should be made.
Of course we have the fantasy version with Zamir being in charge…
Meanwhile, a certain document called “Solicitare de Oferta” had surfaced. So, I had to verify the veridicity of said document. Indeed, it exist, apparently on the official site, as described.
Page 1:
Page 2:
Page 3:
Even a casual reading of the document reveal that the show presence and travel in Romania was carefully planned. The only question remaining unanswered is: WHO MADE THE PLANNING?
The show producers? Ceausescu’s Secret Police?
Somehow, something doesn’t quite fit. The show producers also state:
“…For the record, we DID hire a number of Romanians to assist us with this production and looked to them for guidance and scene suggestions. However, our attempts to set up authentic experiences and off-the beaten path locales typical of No Reservations were, more often than not, foiled at every turn. It was a source of frustration that our requests for “everyday, working class food-related” scenes were again and again either discouraged or seemingly impossible to arrange…”
Hmmm…“everyday, working class food-related” scenes…in Bucharest? “Jaristea” restaurant? Of course. That’s the spot where working-class romanians go to eat. Guidance, scene suggestions? Well…once you set up an itinerary starting with “Jaristea”, nothing can help! There is nothing left to guide.
Ms. Lydia Tenaglia si Mr. Chris Collins appear to suggest a total innocence as to the show choices for visiting and/or filming. Their honest attempts to find the “off-the beaten path locales” were totally ignored or actively discouraged by “official tourism entities”.
Those are pretty heavy words. Apparently, those responsible on the romanian side with helping the crew did “a splendid” job totally destroying the show.
I would like to read some more clarification on the subject, both from the romanian Tourism Board as well as from the show “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” producers.
I’m not holding my breath, though.
