    Interfering with our showers now, Frog? Strange you didn’t mention it :)

    What else have you neglected to tell us about?

    How delightful. Blond children as instruments of political propaganda. As timeless as it is shameless.

    I think these ads are great - congrats to the greens. Keep up the positive messages.

    How about a slogan for your wunderkind posters?

    “The Greens. We’ll Make The Trains Run On Time”

    One of your brochures arrived in the mail today.

    I left it on the table, along with the other mail. When my wife arrived home, she rifled through the mail, came across the Green flyer (the one with the three candidates flyer in the middle) she glanced at it, and threw it in the recycle bin.

    I retrieved it and asked her what she thought of it.

    Now, my wife isn’t particularly interested in politics. She is an intelligent woman, but much to my amusement, she votes Peter Dunne. She thinks he is a nice guy. Which, I guess, he is.

    “Don’t you think that’s quite clever advertising?” I asked.

    She flipped it over. Read it.

    “Yes, but what are they’d bankupt the economy”.

    And back it went in the recycle bin…..

    I love my wife. She amuses me. :)

    typo: Yes, but they’d bankrupt the economy

  8. greenfly Says:

    Your wife agrees the advertising is quite clever? She’s right.
    She’s not particularly interested in politics? Don’t take too much notice of her opinion on political issues then BP :-)

    My wife will vote for who I damn well tell her to.. KIDDING don’t call the cops greenies..
    but seriously she will.

  10. BluePeter Says:

    It is clever. Manipulative, vacuous and “white”, but clever marketing.

    Most people aren’t interested in politics, except, fleetingly, at election time.

    It is they - not us policy groupies - who decide the election.

    Thank you, dear Russel, for our happy childhood.

  12. BluePeter Says:

    ps: It might even win a media award! Alongside Qantas, or something…..

  13. greenfly Says:

    shunda - we don’t call the cops greenies, we call them ‘the police’

  14. Shunda barunda Says:

    sadly BP you are white, I mean right. In NZ you could get turkeys voting for christmas if they got a free lolly pop out of it.

  15. BluePeter Says:

    >>for our happy childhood.

    Just look at those fragile, white children!

  16. Shunda barunda Says:

    “shunda - we don’t call the cops greenies, we call them ‘the police’”

    That must be why I get arrested all the time! thanks greenfly!!

  17. Shunda barunda Says:

    wat, that is seriously funny, best laugh all day!

  18. Don Says:

    Frankly, that would drive me nuts. And the ‘rest’ of the ads - are they different? Seemed pretty much the same .. but then I couldn’t stand listening to them all.

    And did it have to be such an iconic Auckland background?

    Just going to go burn my woolly jumper
