SA born comedian Trevor Noah has made an ad for SA Tourism which cost somewhere in the region of R34 million.

Awful ad: Sir Peter Jackson and Taika Watiti made an Air NZ safety ad which was millions of miles better than this thing.

What do you have against Trevor Noah? I like him on the Daily Show.

No problem with him: he's done very well for himself. :cheers:

My problem is that this ad has cost the South African taxpayer millions: about $2 million USD for the ad.  :buggedout:

You have a problem with $2m for an ad? Those are peanuts. You wouldn't survive Germany:

The government invested billions of euros of tax money in pointless projects in the last two years.

That's like, 500 ads for one billion alone  :wink:

Is it October yet?

Agreed.

Our government has been accused many times over of corruption and greed and this ad - which allegedly cost 34 million Rand - is just another case in point which adds to their mantra "It is our time to eat". Sad, really.
