Rover Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Seems old Julius had a sense of humour failure about this one, its quite funny though!Ad (and story) here: Nando's Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toitjie Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 "We are fully aware that the advertisement is intended at mocking the president of the ANCYL, and in a racist fashion portrays political leaders as cartoons." "While awaiting the legal advice, the ANCYL instructs the Nando's Company and those who did the advertisement to promptly withdraw the advert from all television screens and radio channels. "If Nando's does not withdraw the adverts, the ANCYL will mobilise the people of South Africa to take militant action against Nando's and anything associated with Nando's." I wanted to say something about this earlier, but wasnt sure if this was not one of those threads heading for the cooer, but thanx Rover you opened the door (or a can of worms?...) I applaud Nandos, for their absolutely brilliant advertising campaign. and the remarks made above of the threat to Nando's if they dont do as "they" say, confirms once again the reason for these people being made fun of.

Toitjie Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 oh, and I do so wish that someone could explain to me (or Julius) how an advertising campaign like this one specifically, could be construed as racist?it seems that word is being used very loosely and to blame anything or anyone for anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have always loved the Nando's ads. They are even better than their food!Go Nando's!And in my humble opinion Julius is an oxygen thief who wouldn't understand what was being explained to him.

Red Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 If there's one thing I miss...it's those wonderfully funny Nando's ads...Thanks Rover... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 It's now in the headlines that the ANCYL is threating to boycott Nando's....clearly they can't do anything legal against them...... And I can promise you, for every ANCYL person that will boycott, 3 "other party people" will support them!!! And it is a funny add. It's not even that bad really.....

MarcK Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Brilliant ad....Julius should feel peri-peri blessed that Nando's have used him in one of their ads....it certainly has us all clucking away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukeboXXX Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Nandos ads are brilliant! Also heard one on the radio, day after JZ's charges were dropped against him:Was a dialogue between "comrade boss" and "Julias" talking about lunch at Nandos (and taking money from petty cash for it) etc.When the comrade boss mentions that the meal seems expensive; Julias says not to worry...he warned them of the esteemed having lunch there and they agreed to drop their charges! It is free for you!My eyes were tearing from laughter, but haven't heard it since... Edited April 21, 2009 by jukeboXXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronfire Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) If it wasn't so sad, it'd be utterly laughably ridiculous. Someone disconnect this guy's life support system....he must be brain dead!!And, another thing, he really thinks he lives in Soviet Russia.......'instructing" Nandos to pull the ad!!!! I've enjoyed Nando's brilliant ads - they're a commentary on society and politics....from Eugene and his horse, all the way to Julius and his ass. Oh, sorry, I meant Julius THE ass.

Toitjie Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 And, another thing, he really thinks he lives in Soviet Russia.......'instructing" Nandos to pull the ad!!!!I read in the newspaper that the ANCYL and Nandos have a meeting scheduled, I think next week Monday, so Nandos is entertaining their "request" at least? I hope not, this is seriously damaging free speech, if he starts threatening military style action against anyone he dislikes and those threatened give in, we will soon have the next Mugabe on our doorstep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot gamble with my childs future, nor mine...I don't think a lot of people realise the level of socialist influence in the government and ANC.

Nes Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 AWWW mann! Now I feel left out. I haven't seen the ad and when I try to watch the link in your post it says an error has occured, Video removed by user. Did I do something drastically wrong (wouldn't surprise me, quite technologically challenged) or has it been removed for real? Possibly due to legal reasons ???Nes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
