  1. Evidently this does not impress the ladies. Nevermind, based on the date Hungary is soon to start collaborating with the Nazis which should open up lots of business opportunities for such an enterprising young chap :D

  2. Hey, it’s less dumb than getting a tattoo across your forehead.

  4. “Jön!” is Hungarian for “Golden Palace Casino”.

  5. I am from Hungary, and came across this site, searching for old advertisements. This ad is just hilarious :D

    btw ‘Jön!’ means ‘Coming soon!’ or ‘Something is coming!’
