Fake Howcroft: Vote for me
A reliable barometer of celebrity is whether an individual has a fake Twitter persona.
Dr Mumbo is delighted to report that Gruen Transfer panellist and Y&R Brands CEO-in-waiting Russel Howcroft has achieved that distinction.
The fake Howcroft_for_PM began tweeting on Monday:
Some choice efforts so far:
Bloody tough day on the campaign trail. Reckon I’d rather listen to Todd prattle on than kiss anymore babies.
Yes it’s time. Yes it’s time. Yes it’s time. Time for the good looking one from #gruen to get your vote.
Up early for a power walk. Don’t worry kids, I wouldn’t be seen dead in a Johnny Howard style tracksuit.
Geez those kids at Amnesia Razorfish are a bit slow when it comes to Twitter. How long do we wait till @socialelection has something to say?
How’s a bloke supposed to drum up support on the campaign trail when he keeps getting emails to do his timesheet from a bloody wpp minion ?
Pissing down out there. Hope the rain doesn’t mess up my hair!
Abbott and the Gilliard are in Melbourne today. Might get them into the agency and show them what a great job Ben has done with the plants.
At the time of writing, the fake Howcroft has only 75 followers, but it is still early days on the campaign trail.
I follow the supposed Lindsay Lohan on twitter – she’s a real hoot http://twitter.com/LindsayInJail

Jeez, I hope those weren’t the highlights. Do people still create fake twitter personas? Already as old as spouting Monty Python sketches word for word. This Howcroft one is particularly lame. I wonder why they bothered?

Wait, I know. It’s run by Amnesia to promote their social election tool.

So terrible and so unfunny. And the point of it is…? Completely unsuccessful if it was to promote something.
