Election campaign for sale!

Have you ever wished you could buy an election campaign?

Here's your chance! You can buy the Labour Party's campaign holus-bolus; the marketing spiel says:


Things are tasting a little sour for Labour members and supporters. With National polling above 50 percent, things aren’t looking good over at the red camp and Labour’s attempt to bring a bit of zest into their campaign by bribing voters with policies New Zealand can’t afford has been received bitterly. Little hope is being kept for 3 years of Labour, even with the Green Parties record high polling. In fact, traditionally left voters may be seen flocking to the right, as National’s plans to overhaul the welfare system has been met with support from some Labour and Green voters.

Here we have it: Labour’s election campaign. It’s bright and yellow on th
e outside, but take a bite and you might be left with a less-than-pleasant taste in your mouth. With about two weeks out from voting day, the chances of Labour getting into power are about as likely as this lemon’s.




Get your bid in quickly, before it's priced off the market! And the best bit is this; all proceeds go to CureKids, who are anything but a lemon!


UPDATE: That was fun while it lasted; the TradeMe administrators have deprived CureKids of the chance to receive a few charity dollars, and the auction has been taken down; what a shame!

What does god or God or God's gods think of this auction ?

And TradeMe pulled that one down quicker than gravity...

Good point Sir Loin. God would find it unpalatable that his follower, his dear child constantly derides another group of people based on the fact they think differently to INV2. For God is good.

God would say to INV2: "Excuse me INV2, I love all of my children and would never mock anyone and would never castigate others for the beliefs they hold dear, whether political or religious. Lay off the sniping and meanness that you knowingly promote yet hypocritically deny and dishonestly label as humour when your true intention is to protect your own earthly patch, blasphemously using my name and a rather irresponsible version of my message to you (I do love it when you talk to me in your head INV2) as some sort of righteous and awfully pious twaddle. Try to be a better Christian, and start by not blogging about negative DEPRESSING things. Write instead about your family, nature, fellow believers and the joy life on earth brings you and the love you have for me. "

Rational Lyes. That was God's will.

Quite so RL; it would seem that there is an absence of a sense of humour at TradeMe. A similar phenomenon sometimes occurs in the comments section of blogs...

Whale Oil blogger Cameron Slater has been denied leave to appeal his convictions for deliberately breaking court suppression orders.

That too is God's will.

@ Anon 4.15pm - whether it's God's will or not, it's irrelevant to the topic...

His appeal had as much appeal to the appeals court as sucking a lemon.

Plus, it was god's will that I write the comment and that you reply, relevant or not. God works in mysterious ways.

How very unoriginal.

The Liberals' advertising agency would have been less than impressed.

Jacqueline said...

Perhaps it was not Trademe that did not have a sense of humour.

Maybe it was Curekids who did not want to be associated with something so childish and polarising?

I am sure that a lot of their funding would come from donations, and they would not make it common practive to get involved in politics.

Duplicitous, despicable, weasel politics:

Prime Minister John Key has taken another baby step towards an explicit endorsement of ACT's John Banks in the Epsom electorate.

I'm imagining a photo of Key's name on a fruit...

...any fruit.

Datsunbuyanear said...

Yes, a fruit with Key's name on it!

Brilliant!

Inventory2 said...

Go away Robert...
