Political marketers: one idea

(Friday, 17 July 2009)

Forget political flyers handed in to distracted citizens in a hurry. Stop throwing money away in electoral posters or billboards. Disregard even the most dramatic campaign efforts of offering a refrigerator for every vote. Do like in Ecuador: paint every single house in every insignificant and little town to advertise the newest candidate to the local elections.

First I thought that the selected houses were either property of the candidate, his/her family, or a hand full of very enthusiastic supporters or volunteers. But then there were just too many houses painted like this, so it couldn’t be the case. You must be paid to get your house screwed up like this, or something!


Humm… do I get paid too if I get it tattooed in my ass?!

P.S.: in addition to the candidate’s name and colours, the number of his/her list is also advertised; I’ve seen numbers as high as thirty-something – how many candidates do they have around here?
