brit-gob 9 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Just been an ad on BBC World now for South Africa. Catchphrase "South Africe. It's possible". Just had to laugh. Some marketing types get paid huge amounts to come up with ridiculous lines like that? How do I get that job?! Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I agree with stemik, it is absolutely fantastic. I hjope those clever marketing people got paid many hundreds of thousands (of pounds!) for such a grand job. Tells me all about the brand of South Africa and why I should go. I'm booking a flight soon. Link to post Share on other sites
