Site icon The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

If You Accept That A Postcard Is A Sort-Of Ad, Designed To Make People Want To Come To A Particular Destination …

… then this would win the advertising INeffective award …

Jesus, what were they thinking? Is some ugly urban sprawl really going to motivate the masses to come and visit?

Well, maybe if you’re in a 3rd World or war-ridden country.

The funny thing is the Malaysian Tourism Board have spent millions promoting their [admittedly] beautiful country as “Truly Asia” and then some little bastard with a camera and bad taste comes along and makes a postcard that is designed to put people off visiting rather than attracting.

Knowing the history between Malaysia and Singapore, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a Singaporean Government backed ‘tourism initiative’, ha!

Actually the funnier thing is this postcard monstrosity was given to me as a birthday card – but being the sad bastard that I am, I love it.

Saying that, I don’t love it as much as this shit gift …
 

 Isn’t it repulsive?

More Malaysian tourism tat – it even beats my Taj Mahal snow dome.

Why am I so sad?

Oh I know, because at my age, dementia has set in. 🙂
