LG decided to release 100 helium balloons in an outdoor park in Seoul, each containing a voucher for a free LG G2 smartphone, which sells at full retail for about R8,500. What they didn’t plan for though, was a surge of people (think World War Z) with BB guns and knives on sticks trying to pop the balloons to get their hands on a voucher.
The Russian donkey that won worldwide sympathy last July after being forced to parasail has died of a heart attack. The donkey, named Anapka, made headlines when she was attached to a parachute at a Russian beach and launched into the sky for an outrageous promotional stunt. I guess that’s where we’re different, in Russia they use donkeys, and over here we use Trevor Noah.
