FNB You Can Help Campaign under fire

[James]

The ANCYL criticised First National Bank's "You Can Help Campaign" on Monday as "treacherous".

It features children reading their hopes for the country.

"FNB, in an obviously lame attempt to recreate an Arab Spring of some sort in South Africa, uses children to make unproven claims of a 'government rife with corruption'," African National Congress Youth League spokeswoman Khusela Sangoni-Khawe said in a statement.

unproven claims of a 'government rife with corruption'

My ass. It's been proven over and over. Often in court. See Julius Malema

To comment on their infinite abyssal lack of intelligence would only be stooping to their level. It ain't worth it.

Somehow they always overlook this. Oh yes, and then they always find ways to dodge silver bullets. A recent example is the arms deal inquiry which Zuma himself commissioned. I am starting to hear that the investigation is tainted and seriously flawed. And the only reason for this would be to protect the guilty scumbags who were on the take.

Seriously necessary. However, nothing less than a double will do.

Why oh why would you post something like this.

Because they are shit and everything they do only serves to bring the country down? Hello?

Clearly your response is so much better and demonstrates a more constructive approach.

I heard a great comment earlier, the ad didn't target any political party, is this a feeling guilty overreaction?

Indeed. And chances are high.

The fact that they reacted so harshly to the ad shows me that they may see in themselves exactly what was mentioned in the ad.
There was no targeting whatsoever, I personally didn't find an issue with the advert. No government, political party or names were mentioned. Only problems were mentioned, and the reason they are reacting like this is because they know that they do things which were mentioned as problems.


This pretty much sums up the ANC reaction to any issues which are raised: https://soundcloud.com/euphonikdj/euphonik-they-must-shut-up
