For all the money Mexican politicians
spend on their election campaigns, it's a wonder that the advertising
you see is so amateurish.
Are there not professional public
relations and marketing specialists in Mexico who can lend a hand to
the propaganda efforts of these folks?
While out on a walk this morning, I snapped random pictures of
some of the more interesting signs I saw.
Below are four that
caught my attention. And I must say that this is just
a quick sampling - there are many other worthwhile targets I could make fun of. (And I probably will in a future post.)
Mario Delgado – candidate for Senate
When I see this sign, what's my immediate
reaction? If you were my neighbor, I wouldn't even trust you to feed
my cat while I'm away. And if you knock on my door, I will hide.
This is possibly the worst message I've
ever seen on a sign. Translated, it says, “Do you know what a senator does? I'll explain
it to you!”
In other words, what he's really saying
is, “I think you, the voters, are morons. You couldn't possibly
understand why only I am smart enough to do the job of a Senator.”
Wow.
