Vodacom: Wasting your money for a silly little meercat
Posted by Don Packett under Uncategorized on October 25 2006 at 5:20 PM
First there was “I like the way you move” advert, with a crowd following an oversized rat, then “Can’t touch this” with a dance-off in a club, which didn’t last too long ‘cos now they’ve gone and bought that “Gasolina” track too.
Ok, now how much does it cost to use a commercial track? Especially for TV. Vodacom have bought 3 in the past year (that we know of). Isn’t that a bit silly considering they’re trying to get the nation to follow dance moves performed by a mongoose?
Now you know where all you monthly cellphone payments end up, MC Hammer’s pocket.

I fucking hate that thing. I would eat meat again, if I could kill, eviscerate and deep fry the bastard myself.
I also now hate every song it ‘dances’ to.

Is it just me that notices that the Meerkat bears an uncanny resemblance to Nataniël…

Last night, Georgian troops committed what amounts to an act of aggression against Russian peacekeepers and the civilian population in South Ossetia.
