-We'll have to look into it"

Thething is election posters are allowed under bye law anything else that does not have sanction by the local authories is littering and Tatyo could be looking at a hell of an over all fine for the stunt.

The two adverts I saw were:

Mr. Tayto's thoughts on the peace process:
'The Northside and Southside should work together to bring about peace'

Mr. Tayto's thoughts on the hole in the ozone layer:
'We should definitely look into it'

The posters were also too low, the base of them was about four foot from the ground, making them a hazard for pedestrians, particularly vision impaired people.

Eh, us "vision impaired" people are more affected by the "official" election posters. The Mr. Tayto ones aren't going to be up as long as they will be, plus they're in very, very few locations in comparison.

Anyone else see the tayto brigade in the city centre on Saturday?

I was on Dame Street when I heard lots of beeping, and it was a jeep with a "Mr. Tayto No. 1" poster on the front and back. I smiled at this, continued walking, and suddenly there was more beeping behind me. There was a tractor with the posters on the front pulling a huge trailer full of spuds with a Mr. Tayto standing in it waving to everyone.

Bravo, Tayto.

It's called Guerrilla Marketing.
Fair dues to the team who came up with it-there are getting huge publicity

I seem to remember Homer Simpson and Mickey Mouse got a certain fraction of a percent of a US Presidental Election.
People having a laugh while spoiling their votes.

Imagine you were a genuine candidate and Mr.Tayto outpolled you :eek:
You'd nearly emigrate with shame
