whatsup, erap?


that rhymed, huh? cute!

but i guess you're serious now, huh?
political ads should be serious, you say?

no singing or dancing? the concept being presidential?
that makes me smirk. i could have sworn i saw you in one of those movies with slow-mo running around the trees and those dancing choreography at the beach.

okay, that's besides the point, i know.
but, erap babalik na?

i think i've heard that somewhere. uhm, how about some originality?
how about "i shall return" instead?


anyway, i know you're not as dumb as those sms jokes, which people have circulated before.
but because i lloovvee advertising and marketing, i'd spell out the general idea, contrary to the neck-less interview you had during the late night news.

marketing > advertisement, as defined by answers.com are...

Sponsored informational public notice appearing in any of the communications media that is designed to appeal to a mass audience in order to persuade, inform, promote, motivate, or otherwise modify behavior toward a favorable pattern of purchasing, supporting, or approving a particular product, service, idea, or organization.



well, i'd hate to think that i'm the only person who's thoroughly enjoying the political ads this election year. despite the whole politics behind them, it amazes me how mature, and well, rather creative the television airtime have been utilized.

i'd say, counting colorful at that. persuasion on the roll!

i know it's too early, but here's Chari's Election 2010 Top TV Ad Polls Rating:


1. Noynoy

* Who would have missed the all star cast tv ad that brought in celebrities from both big rival networks ;
* To the "hindi ako magnanakaw" ad ;
* To the "Pinnoyyyy... Noy-noy jingle" ad with very cute baby james raising that right-hand L at the end;
* To the most recent with the projection of what should have been to what had happened,

I'd say great great team is surely behind him on this race.


2. Gibo

Ghad, his ads are tasteful!

* Galing at Talino with the matching dramatic lifting of the head
* The seemingly Globe Telecoms-like advertisement of him walking on the alley
* The most recent Lipad Gibo with those huge-ass planes and that great band play

Too bad the song doesn't get some recall for me, but, I should say, the administration do know how to compete in this race.


3. Eddie

Not as many ads as the rest of the candidates, but his is a classic example of quality over quantity.

Eddie tayo!

Love the double meaning. Well, I say there, my friend, is what we call recall.


4. Villar

Does he need any introduction? Who wouldn't miss his advertisements? It's all over.

A number can easily be shelved or stored down those trash bins, but admittedly, millions of people have likely hummed his jingle.

"Sha ang tunay na mahirap... nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura, at namasko ka na ba sa gitna ng kalsada, yan ang tanong namin. tunay ka bang isa samin?"




there you go.

so, whatsup, erap?
that still rhymed, huh? cute?
well, definitely not you.



god bless pinas.
