Mr. Splashy Pants
Greenpeace is holding an internet poll to name great whales for its The Great Whale Trail Expedition.
Currently Mr. Splashy Pants is winning by great margin (73% as i’m writing this), other names that also being proposed are ’serious’ names like Aiko, Amal, Bumi, Nurani, Anahi and Paikea.
Obviously, holding an internet poll is just about raising awareness, creating hype. You can’t expect some meaningful, thoughtful results from online voting. Because most people on the internet have great sense of humor and anti-establishment .
That’s what happen to Spice Girls when they held internet poll for their reunited concert, they almost ended up performing in Baghdad. Also when Stephen Colbert actually won the poll in hungarian bridge-naming contest. Later the result was disqualified because Hungarian law states that someone needed to be fluent in hungarian and deceased to have a bridge named after his.
Well, if there is any poll for Indonesia presidential candidate, i’ll propose Bondan Winarno to be included. He would make a great contender. Because if he becomes president we Indonesians can "stay healthy stay spirited so we can travel and eat out".
These are essentially what indonesians need now. We need to be healthy and spirited so we can be productive, and that means more income. Travelling is essential in building Indonesian economy because we have so many tourism potentials (beautiful places, cultures, babes :-p ) that can have huge impact on our economical recovery. And of course eating out should become a national movement because, food industries can absorb many work forces meaning creating new job opportunities, creating new enterpreneurs and it will moves Indonesia out of fossil fuel and raw natural resources based economy.
By the end of Bondan’s term, Indonesia will become a prominent economic giant in southeast asia and give him another term, then Indonesia will become the greatest country in the world.
We don’t need nukes, WMDs, chem bombs, railguns or tasers. We’ll conquer the world with our billons of culinary megabombs!
We’ll invade Malaysia easily.. just throw them megatons of rendang sauce and fortified-rengginangs. By the end of the day they will be craving for more.
"Okay.. we’ll give you more of these fortified-rengginangs if you surrender to us!!"
Beautiful.
So.. i’m calling for all patriotic Indonesians! VOTE BONDAN WINARNO FOR PRESIDENT!!
SCREW POLITICS LET’S EAT OUT!!
