In Spirit of the Upcoming Election

Posted on Jan 22, 2009 in thoughts | 22 comments

I’d just like to share some posters that I thought really depict the creativity of our future leaders. Brace yourself fellas, these posters are like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

Taking advantage of the infamous dancing daughter

It's a plane! It's a bird! A green bird! Oh no!!! It's...

Aren’t they just fabulous? They’re tastefully done and very convincing, aren’t they? I’m sure the Indonesian mass love our future leaders for being so humorous and clever while promoting themselves. I mean, a green Superman – genius or what?And the whole father-using-daughter’s popularity-as-leverage is just pure awesomeness, I wouldn’t have thought about that at all!

Bravo guys, bravo!

PS: Cynthia Lamusu is an Indonesian celebrity famous for her performance on a TV show equivalent to that So You Think You Can Dance show. Rafflyn, is the father. Apparently.

I’m still considering whether the second poster is actually a hoax or not. Somebody can clue me in? It’s just too good to be true.

PPS: Thanks Richoz for the images!

I agree. Those posters tend to have the ‘speechless’ effect to people.

Although aesthetically the first one was hideous, the message is easily captured by wider audience. The second one is more ‘localised’ for Jakarta, if you know what I mean.

Finally Woken´s last blog post..Net A Bargain

Very ‘localised’ indeed. Perhaps the guy in the second poster was aiming for a ‘certain demographic’?

the second image got me thinking…H must be referring to his “haj” title, but why on earth he dressed up ala Superman showing up all his bulge shape? I thought that is against the porn law…LOL!

Hey! I didn’t think of that before! You’re so, so right, that IS against the porn law, somebody gotta sue this guy, he is vulgar! What if some woman (or man, for that matter) saw this poster and got aroused – I mean, those bulges are just asking for it!

I will vote for the Superman dude in a heart beat … in a heart beat! That is if I can drag myself to the voting booth.

peyo´s last blog post..In this Quiet Town

Why, because of his bulges? LOL. I’m still not sure either about voting. I know I should be using my rights but looking at these posters I’m rethinking yet again…

Don’t forget there’s a guy whose campaign posters feature–guess who?–Barrack Obama, just because many people (meaning: himself and his parents) think he looks like Obama.

I reckon when people actually meet the dude on the 2nd poster, they’re up for some bitter disappointment.

“Hang on a sec… you don’t look ANYTHING like that bulging guy on the poster! In fact… you’ve got a pot belly! Doom! Doom!

And then there are the ones that show a face – heavily edited. I’ll try and take a picture and post one where the face is just distorted beyond measure. Kinda makes the caleg look like an alien.. A very symmetrical alien! Lol

mouse´s last blog post..Give him a break already!

Do, please do!!! Lemme know when it’s posted, I can’t wait to see the distorted caleg’s face! Hey, maybe they ARE aliens, who knows? They’re here to invade the earth and turn us into slaves! Gyaaaaa

I’m still waiting for a female caleg dressed in Catwoman costume, THEN I’ll be 100% happy!

Picking up on Toni’s theme…

All we need now is Batman and then perhaps a few other superheroes…

Rob´s last blog post..Tennis — Australian Open

Dude, I don’t think Batman or Spiderman is gonna go well with them people, because the costume require to covering of the faces, which is the total opposite of something that they’re trying to do. Maybe Conan the Barbarian or Hulk?

I don’t remember who. It’s a waste of brain cells to memorize his name. But I found the picture in an edition of Kompas last week. Will try to look for it.

It has been my current obsession to ridicule all the calegs as well as any politicians who embarass themselves in public. I’d even start my own “crazy-ass caleg posters” collection and who knows, they might turn up as novelty in the future, sort of like stamps!

Hmmm.. At least none of them promise to eradicate poverty in Indonesia.

Poverty? They can’t even promise to eradicate corruption because *gasp* they ARE corruptors! LOL.

Wua haaaa….

Come on Therry…. the super-caleg has surely invoked your hidden (or is it throbing) desire to vote now, yeah?

katadia´s last blog post..Ghosts and gender

LOL Not really. Now I’m hearing that stupid Jusuf Kalla is saying that people who are abstaining from the election are not allowed to criticize the government because they’re not in any way participating with the process.

Someone’s really gotta wash that stupid mouth of his. Or better yet, murder him.

I vote for the daughter, she looks much happier than dear old dad.

But she might not be as happy as you think if she found out what her dear daddy had done with her photo!
