A quick drive thru Kampala and its suburbs will bring forth to the mind a new kind of advertising where there are posters on virtually every pole in town, every pavement that’s big enough to stick an A4 size paper, heck, even the garbage bins have been plastered all over. The chaps at KCC responsible for the city’s cleanliness must be like “Hey, is it me or does the city look much brighter?”
The problem however is not the advert papers, but the contents, it’s really painful to know that people can put up this stuff and actually get away with it. Now at first, these guys started with notices like “Learn accounts software, call 0752 –xxxxxx, then this failed, then they went to stuff like “For video games and software, call 0752 – xxxxxx”, but this also backfired, so they went sexual, and this worked, I think, coz now there are posters every 3 seconds of;
“To increase manhood size, call…………..”
“Lose weight while eating, call ……………”
“For bigger bums and hips, call…………….”
“For cuter lips, call………………………….”
“Brain boosters for the mentally slow, call……”
“Lose pimples, stretch marks, call……………..”
“To eat chips and chicken for free, call…………”
“To get a free tv, call……………………………”
Advertising companies like ZK and the like must be cursing the gods, for their billboards have been violated by these goons. Electricity and telephone poles haven’t been spared either. But at least these goons should be given the licences to do ads for radio, coz they sound creative.
The ads on radio these days make us as sick as these street ads, imagine something like “Eh eh, u are talking alone? Now where is ufuta???” Despite switching off the radio, u go to tv and find a Spanish soap? We are still investigating the Spanish government, to see who has bribed all our TV execs to show more of this crap!! I am now forming “the association o chaps against Spanish soaps”, care to join??
