What’s up with all the flippin’ Hummers
Posted on 05. Dec, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Technology
A few year’s ago the advertising giveaway product of choice was a Playstation 2. Then it evolved into the iPod and now….it’s the Hummer H3.
Why? Are we at war? With the petrol price as it is – it’s cheaper to fill your tank with bottles of Jack Daniels than stop at a designated pump. So what does the second placed winner of these competitions get…..Two Hummers?
BTW – this Nando’s ripoff of, the now dated, MTN Yello Summer campaign is a scream. It’ll end in tears for sure. MTN should be rubbing their hands with glee [cause Nando's are now indirectly doing a bit o' MTN brand building on their behalf], but egos will come into it and suited cleaners will be called in to ‘eliminate’ the problem.
With all these Hummers set to take the road thanks to these things, you’d swear we didn’t have an environment on the brink of disaster to worry about. Maybe everyone who drives a Hummer, won it in some competition. Gives us an idea for the local church Tombola coming up soon.

Inevitably, MTN complained to the Advertising Standards Authority, and the complaint was upheld:
