 |
|
| Quote: | An advertising agency for BMW has paid to name a cold weather front sweeping Europe "Cooper" in Germany, after the carmaker's Mini Cooper.
But the public-relations stunt by the agency went wrong after the freezing conditions led to dozens of deaths.
Germany's meteorology institute allows the sponsorship of weather systems.

I wondered what had happened to him  .

How unfair. The Beeb have far bigger resources than The Daily Mash.
