CAPTION CONTEST

Aruba_Go cart race

Is that Deepak trying to make a get away from Carlos N’ Charlies? Let’s just hope the ALE blocked traffic from the road. Any time you put any vehicle on an Aruban road … it could be an adventure.

ORANJESTAD – After a very long time, the public could enjoy a traditional go-cart race again on the Queen’s birthday.  This race near Ponton was also the public attraction.  There were also several unregulated street market, kite competitions, and the annual Boulevard-walk from Malmok.

      The tourism is sooo bad in Aruba, the police have to use go carts. The gsoline budget is gone.

      Ya reckon it looks kinda like the American soap box derby?

      Why not take some pix from various soap box derbies and assign the task of developing some sophomoric perjorative caption.

      Heck, I know you folks could do this well based on the intellectual integrity shown by most posters to this blog.

    7. richard on May 5th, 2008 10:23 pm

      Caption idea:

      “Boy, it seems that EVERYBODY is heading to the Netherlands. Can’t wait to get out of Aruba.”

      “Yeah … and if we’re the sinking ship, what are they?”

    8. buster on May 5th, 2008 11:12 pm

      Scared Monkeys boycot cars because Arubans drive in cars.

      SM: No, not care … just injustice and ignorance …

      BTW, if one is going to make fun of a boycott … please learn how to spell it.

    11. Don on May 6th, 2008 2:01 am

    12. Scared Monkeys on May 6th, 2008 5:14 am

      With the rise in gas prices, Aruba looks to alternative methods of transportation.

      They just haven’t figured out how to get the cars to go uphill. ;)

    13. Scared Monkeys on May 6th, 2008 5:16 am

      New Aruban cab service from the airport.

      Hmmm … They have have misthought the luggage part.

    14. Vicki on May 6th, 2008 5:43 am

      #13 As with everything they do, misthink…maybe they just have no brains…or why do ppl need luggage they will just go missing anyway….POOR PATHETIC PEOPLE…this is FUN for them…Like having SINBAD at their festival…hahahahahhaha

    15. Miss-Underestimated on May 6th, 2008 6:12 am

    16. Bearlyhere on May 6th, 2008 6:27 am

      The new line of Aruban police cars are premiering today. They will greatly enhance the investigations currently taking place. They come fully loaded with an efficient long handled umbrella with a unique power button to be used in inclement weather.

    17. david r on May 6th, 2008 6:33 am

      Everyone looks like they are having a nice time in the bright sunshine. How many moments like this would Natalee have had ?

    20. richard on May 6th, 2008 7:08 am

      Another caption idea:

      “Hey, why are those guys going so fast?”

      “They want to get to the airport … there was a rumor that a tourist was showing up, and they own hotels. After all, there haven’t been any in years.”

    21. Vicki on May 6th, 2008 7:37 am

      US still drives business to Aruba after Holloway case closed
      By Hazel Heyer | Jan 16, 2008

      eTN caught up with Aruba’s minister of tourism and transportation, Edison Briesen, who said the island is back in business despite the revival of the Holloway incident, which has become fodder for the media. In an exclusive interview at the Caribbean Hotel Association Marketplace held January 13-15 on Paradise Island, Bahamas, Briesen confirmed the US remains strong as its number one market.

      eTN: How is the Aruban tourism industry reacting to the developments on the Holloway case being over?
      Minister Briesen: We were strongly hit by this incident. Unfortunately last year, they’ve closed the case. But in the Dutch justice system, the case is not close. It will remain a silent, open case should any lead come in. We have spent a lot of money bringing in experts from day one to the last day of December 2007, including Dutch investigation experts. We heard the mother and the Holloway family will seek publicity again in the US, which we’ll have to counter.

      From 2005 to early 2006, Aruba was badly hit by the incident due to the negative publicity. In October 2006, Aruba tourism recovered. I think we’ve turned the corner.

      eTN: With an image of being a peaceful island on the Caribbean, why do you think this incident has been lingering and has continued to impact the tourism industry of Aruba?
      Briesen: I don’t know about the family problems they have which seem to be the reason behind this case. In the Caribbean, this is the first time an island has been pounded this long by a single event. It’s been over a year and a half now and the publicity has not ended. I don’t know what other reasons there exist. We’ve opened our doors to help the family solve their issue. We’ve been cooperative and have spent a lot of government money on the investigation.

      eTN: Could this have been a bad example of security loophole?
      Briesen: We’ve had the FBI, the Aruban special task force, F16’s and special recovery vessels searching the island. Nothing turned up. It’s really a strange mystery. The island is so small, social ties are strong. Everybody knows everybody in Aruba. For us, this has been a mystery as well. Unfortunately, there is no closure just yet.

      eTN: Has this been a big challenge to tourism?
      Briesen: Among all challenges we’ve faced, including airlift, US economy slowdown, gas prices etc, this particularly has taken up our time and resources. Everybody got involved in this case. People from the tourism department have been moved to the justice department to help solve the disappearance. This incident has kept us ‘hostage’ for more than a year. In 2006, we even launched an ad campaign worth $5 M in the US to counter the negative broadcast. On the other side of the coin, more people now know about Aruba. But I would not want Aruba to be known in the same way Iraq is known. One reason why we think it has been a hard blow to us.

      We are the safest island in the entire western hemisphere. Things like this don’t happen in Aruba.

      eTN: Do you want closure for the family?
      Briesen: Of course, we went out of our way to help them. We’ve been very cooperative.

      eTN: What message do you have for the US travelers?
      Briesen: What happened in Aruba has given us and the Caribbean a hard lesson to learn, which has become for us and everybody a model for crisis management on the islands. This is one case which we, as a member of the Caribbean Tourism Organization, have learned from and employed as a crisis model. We’ve received support from the CTO and the CHA through the years, with sustaining the US market, our loyal clients for over 30 years. Three of four visitors to Aruba are Americans. This is a case that boggles us. But we’d like to forget and move on.

      The last line says it all Carpe, WE’d LIKE TO FORGET AND MOVE ON…what a filthy pig…to even say something like that…who thinks like this…is it something in the water????OH MY GOODNESS…what if it was your child…Im disgusted beyond words….

    48. Patti on May 7th, 2008 7:20 am

      Famous Last Words…

      He’s going down with Oduber

      because of the crooked Harbor Expansion Contract.

      Actually, I could see this coming because of all the news media that showed up for the Patrick and Judge Smid show. Not to worry…

      No one is moving on, but him and the Big ‘O’

      .

    49. Miss Katie on May 7th, 2008 8:55 am

      they would do anything and say anything to recover their image.. which is badly hit by the the true publicity of the natalee holloway case.. they have not done everything they could have.. more was done by beth and dave and the help of equasearch..
      of course it is a strange mystery.. they got rid of evidence… so therefore the mystery was created by them..

      ANOTHER B.S STATEMENT:

      We’ve opened our doors to help the family solve their issue. We’ve been cooperative and have spent a lot of government money on the investigation.
      they did more door closing than anything.. they threatened the family that if they didnt stop being difficult the investigation would close..
      what big liars!!!

      ANOTHER B.S STATEMENT

      We have spent a lot of money bringing in experts from day one to the last day of December 2007, including Dutch investigation experts. We heard the mother and the Holloway family will seek publicity again in the US, which we’ll have to counter.
      IS THERE ANYONE IN OFFICE THERE THAT IS HONEST AND NOT BOUGHT OFF NOT!!!

      they are going down … its a matter of time before they get their karma…

    50. Miss Katie on May 7th, 2008 9:00 am

      and let me say its good to see you back!!

    51. richard on May 7th, 2008 9:08 am

      Things like this don’t happen in Aruba, eh?

      Seems to me that it did.

      I bet you’d like to move on, scumbag … unfortunately for YOU, it won’t happen.

      What in hell did this line mean; my blood is boiling over at its implications:

      “I don’t know about the family problems they have which seem to be the reason behind this case.”

    52. Carpe on May 7th, 2008 10:58 am
