Captain Morgan For President
By Joe Ciarallo|August 25, 2008
“The Diageo account team over at Rogers and Cowan is sending out a fun pitch this week, while attempting to do what many others surely are as well: tie their client/pitch into the Democratic National Convention.
PRNewser received a press release with the headline, “Put the Party Back in Politics, Captain Morgan Announces 2008 Presidential Candidacy.” If he wins, what can we, the voters expect? “The Captain feels nothing keeps the party going like a well rested workforce, so he’s calling for five day weekends and two day work weeks,” lists one of his campaign pledges. We can live with that!
The pitch has already been picked up by a few ad bloggers. We’ll see where else it lands. Full press release after the jump.
PUT THE PARTY BACK IN POLITICS”
New York, NY, August 22, 2008
“Captain Morgan, famous for legendary times, is taking the election by storm as he announced today his candidacy for President of the United States of America. Loved for his spirit of fun and adventure, the Captain’s newly created Legendary Party is focused on “putting the party back in politics.” The party icon will spice up the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions accompanied by his eye-popping crew of Morganettes.
“As the leader of the Legendary Party, I believe we need to reach across the aisles and clubs and bars – and have more fun,” said Captain Morgan the presumptive candidate. “It is my charge to liven up both conventions and shake up the competition.”
