My theory = brand recognition = votes

I have a theory that the general population votes on band recognition. It’s this theory that I use to explain the voting of George Bush into two terms of office and the same theory that governs that Jacob Zuma will become South Africa’s next president.

Perhaps this is just denial on the fact that the majority of the public actually chooses these people as the counties rulers? Advertisers sell on the same theory right?

So if my theory is correct I have a feeling that popular brands would do well in an election. Perhaps the Hanna Montana Party would do well in a general election.

Or what about a brand such as OMO. So many South African’s are brand loyal to OMO. You do not need to be literate to recognise and place your cross next to your favourite brand on the ballot list!

Nando’s gets it right

Who doesn’t love Nando’s marketing style? Here is a classic Joost van der Westhuzein sex tape scandal ad featuring Amore.

Nando makes clever use of the Joost sex tape scandal

April fools!

I would not be a popular guy at the office today if my colleagues figured out that it was me that swopped their phone lines, or placed sticky tape under their computer mouse’s, or even if they caught a lead that implied I was behind the sticky taped covering the telephone answer buttons down.

What if they discover that I stuck sticky tape on the water cooler so that it would spray water on them when they fill up their glasses? Or how about the fright they got when they poured out milk in their cereal only to find the milk stained from food colouring. My personal favourite is the realisation that I switched the computer keyboards and mice to different computers, so as one person starts typing their neighbours computer starts responding….

One guy in my office made the mistake of leaving his Facebook profile logged on, so naturally that was an open invitation to change his profile picture to some light gay porn.

Ha ha I think I’m evil inside because I’ve had far too much fun setting this up!

Food colouring in the milk is a great way to get the office talking
