DR MUMBO: Is this the world’s worst radio ad?
And you thought that radio ads were bad in Australia? With an appropriate hat-tip to the Fake Plastic Souks blog, here’s a transcript of an LG ad that’s currently running in the UAE:
Man: (sings) Happy anniversary to you!
Woman: Thank you honey!
Man: Now, close your eyes! I have a surprise for you.
Woman: OK!
Man: Open your eyes! You wanted a new refrigerator and washing machine. Here they are!
Woman: Wow! A new LG steam washing machine and a side by side refrigerator. Can we afford both?
Man: Of course! Exchange any old washing machine or refrigerator and bring a new LG washing machine or refrigerator. As part as part of their five year leadership celebration, LG is offering three exciting rewards. We also get an extended warranty on LG home appliances.
Woman: Wow!
Man: Plus we get free one year’s supply of detergent powder for washing machine and a microwave oven for the fridge
Woman: Fantastic! Honey, this is the best anniversary ever!
Man: Add magic to your festivities with LG’s exchange offer! Pre-register by calling blablabla. Conditions apply. LG. Caring for you in every way.
Still, looking on the bright side, at least LG in the UAE aren’t contending with the PR catastrophe they are here.
