The SA Power Crisis

There is a new range of generator being advertised on radio - the brand name is Zoomer. However, they make it very clear in the ad that it's spelt Z-O-O-M-E-R (so as not to confuse it with Zuma).

I think their marketing company has missed a golden opportunity here. Just think how successful the following catch phrases could be (remember, Zoomer, this is copyright me now, you missed your chance):

• Zoomer - Bringing power to the people
• Zoomer - the people's favourite.
  
• Zoomer - Bringing the light of democracy to South Africa (who says I don't have a sense of humour?)
• Zoomer - Lighting the way, night and day
  
• Zoomer for president!
• Vote Zoomer!
• Zoomer - The obvious choice for South Africa
• Zoomer - empowering the people.
  
• Powered by Zoomer (The ID could have fun with this one if they buy a gen for their campaign offices).
• Cover all your bases - go with Zoomer.
• When Mbeki and Eskom fail you, Zoomer will be by your side, lighting the way.
• Does Eskom's load shedding leave you imprisoned in your own offices? Get out of Jail FREE with Zoomer!
  
• Krag probleme? Hou jou Mbeki! Zoomer kan help!
• Zoomer really is immune to AIDS (OK, low blow. Sorry, Mr Zuma)

And that's just the Zoomer guys. Think of the fun political parties could have with this one:

• Zoomer generates a lot of hot air.
• Zoomer - the price is right! (Yeah, this one could become a bit controversial, what?)
• When you suspect your power supply is corrupted, get a Zoomer

I could go on for hours, but I should probably do some work now.
