inflames We have some first class AD Agencies in this country I 100% agree, we have some of the best ad agencies in SA. Many international companies use SA advertising agencies! I know one of the creatives working on the Windhoek brand. He is a complete nut, but artistically a genius!
CDee inflames wrote Still can't believe that they got the "RAS" to sing our anthem! Very funny ad ? ? I've heard of "creative licence" and "making it your own" but stuffing up the national anthem like that is just horrible... >☹
Sean inflames wrote Just brilliant! Still can't believe that they got the "RAS" to sing our anthem! Did he sing our anthem? The word butchered seems more appropriate. I hear he later blamed the sound equipment ???
inflames I hear he later blamed the sound equipment Wackhead phoned him and asked him to redeem himself and sing the anthem again. Needless to say, he messed it up again! I will try and find the wackhead clip and post it here!

AlanRatcliffe Ouch! ??? Geez - I see it's turning into a major diplomatic incident and he's even being accused of treason. Very silly - have a good laugh at his expense, don't buy his albums so he fades into obscurity and get over it. And yeah, capitalise on the incident for funny ads. ?

[deleted] I thought it was hilarious at the time and still giggle when I hear some of those notes. ? But I do see why people are upset... especially the rugby players, they are serious and focused before a massive test match... and a superstar on electric spinach cocks it up... tisk tisk
AlanRatcliffe Now if someone in rugby is really smart, they'll take this incident and use it. Start all the matches with bad, bizarre or just oddball versions of the anthem. Drum only versions, dance only versions (he-he - like Zappa's Approximate), bagpipe versions, versions played on the spoons, balloon & box versions, etc. Become known for it, make it a feature of SA rugby. Eventually people will be tuning in to SA matches to see what the hell those crazy (like a fox) Sarfeffricans are going to come up with next... Just think - the casting audition of one single SA's got talent would be yield enough "talent" for a year at least. ?
