Fun Friday – A Store with Some Wit

A wonderful friend of mine — Irene Peterson — forwarded this to me.

Please go to the end of this message and click on link. It’s hilarious, but I caution you, it will take a minute or so to load up, so be patient. As for who is behind this fun website — here’s what Irene’s e-mail said:

  • HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam . Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands . HEMA also has stores in Belgium , Luxemburg, and Germany In June of this year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital.

    Take a look at HEMA’s product page. You can’t order anything and it’s in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens.

    Don’t click on any of the products pictured, just wait and see what happens. And be sure you have your sound turned up.

    This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer, ya?

So without further ado, here’s the link and for those of you old enough to remember — it reminds me of one of those Rube Goldberg devices, doesn’t it?

Speaking of Rube Goldberg, here’s an Office Rube Goldberg device! The people in this office clearly have too much free time (or a boss that’s on vacation!)

Thanks to morebeefplease Jesse for this video!

Hope you all have a good weekend!

  1. I checked the link for the Dutch store and it was hilarious. I laughed so hard I started coughing. I have been really sick this past couple of weeks with pneumonia, sinus infection and an ear infection. Any thing to cheer me up helps. I didn’t get to watch the Olympics today but thanks for sharing the fireworks. Awesome. Have a great week-end and hugs.
