I saw the cheekiest advertising yesterday, something that I haven't seen the like of in SA for a long time. The main reason being, competitive advertising in SA is "frowned" upon.

Everyone in SA is aware of the biggest sharks called Telkom and their closest competitors Neotel. Driving along the N1 to Pretoria just going through the Midrand area, Neotel has one of their main offices setup there nice and visible in Orange.

Now Telkom decided that they would put an advert on a billboard not more than 200m away stating " Beware the Orange". Well not in those exact words but that is what they said. I find that extremely hilarious as well as annoying at the same time.

Firstly because Telkom are such assholes, who have been raping this country for years with their expensive telephones charges and interenet solutions. Now they have to balls to stand there and advertise such a blatant add against Neotel which I might have been a right step in the direction to cheaper internet and telecoms.

Oh well, now that we know that Telkom is starting to worry about their market share, especially since a lot of service providers are undercutting them and a fair amount of new options coming out faster each year, but why would they go to such lengths as advertising something so grossly inappropriate.

Anyways, my rant is off for the day. :P
