Some random stuff

Sista P

Opposition Leader and President of the Peoples National Party (PNP), Portia Simpson-Miller has described Peter Phillips challenge to her presidency of the party as a threat to democracy. For a minute I thought Sista P sounded a little like Robert Mugabe.

The sprint twins

I am getting fed up with the bullshit that is going on between Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell. If you look at the Youtube video, you can clearly see Powell looking at the video screen to his left, checking to see where Bolt was, while slowly shutting down, and Bolt realizing that Asafa had a good lead, did the same. I am extremely happy that Jamaica has these two great athletes, but they need to stop this non-sense of shutting down near the end of the race, which they also did at the National Trials. Usain and Asafa are surely becoming the Serena and Venus of Track and Field. I wonder who is going to win the coin toss for the Olympic Games 100m final.

Another Digicel Ad

Digicel’s latest attempt for a television ad is seriously getting on my flipping nerves. I really can’t see how watching Usain Bolt run around a track, with some flipping morons jumping up and down in the background is going to make me buy more of their phones, make more calls, or develop any type of brand loyalty towards Digicel’s products. All their ads seem to follow the same script, and if you think about it, Cable and Wireless and Flow have similar ads as well. Asafa is the poster boy for C&W internet services, which happens to cost two times more that what Flow charges, who by the way has Bridgette Foster-Hylton in their ads. I guess they probably share the same advertising agency.
