[LabAnimal]

so.... V3G, What's your take on this over-hyped pathetic commercial?

I reckon the reason V3G went on leave is because he knew this terrible ad was coming ..... and he wanted to be far away from the forum


(just playing with you V3G )

OK, it's a campaign. You visit a website and after waiting a couple of minutes for Zoopy to load. You get a blank screen. You then upload a photo of yourself. You can make some adjustments to the photo.

Press play and some very ordinary looking bald men do a badly choreographed dance to a Boyonce tune. The middle one is wearing a mask, which becomes your face.

It also fails here because the e-mail entry system is borked and doesn't accept a typed @ character. At the end you get a chance to forward the e-mail. If you've now managed to get the @ sign into the box, it says "invalid email".

Sorry Vodacom, but I don't think I've ever seen such an epic unfunny messed up campaign since, well, the last one.

Hey was there not a similar thing done with elfs where you would upload your mug shot to a dancing elf?

 

[GrootBaas]

Oh skinner!! But why spell it like that?

Because that is how you spell "skinder".

Urgh that ad though , v3g has got some serious explaining to do when he gets back

This one:

Looks very similar.

Is it maybe a sign that we can expect a price drop when Seacom is connected?

Wishful thinking on your part!

I would've thought by now you knew the good stuff is announced on this forum first.

For a proper bombshell, watch this forum tomorrow morning!

I can confirm that tomorrow's announcement will not be as insignificant as the Vodacom Boyonce ad

Are the two at all related? BTW, morning starts in about a minute...

Could not be further apart......

I'd start looking around noon tomorrow. But then rpm has always suffered from premature publication.

Nothing to do with Vodacom pricing, products, etc.
