FUYOH with LALA

in my personal opinion...i think the DIGI PREPAID FU-YOH! is a complete disaster. i mean they have a good package with lotsa perks and stuff but the name itself and the ad campaigns are just hilarious. FU-YOH isn't even a word...at least not in my english language dictionary. and what is it supposed to represent? am i supposed to look at the rates and immediately go "FUIYOH!!!! so low ah" which is generally the Malaysian type response. so maybe it is the smartest thing that DIGI has ever conjured up. their target market would be the people who actually utilize the term FU-YOH (i can't stop saying it already) which is probably 70% of the Malaysian population. the only people who won't get it are the expatriates...the tourists...and the people who grew up under a rock.

but wait...FU-YOHLICIOUS?????? ok...that's taking it a tad too far. now people would just think we're unoriginal. ripping off fergie...who in my opinion ripped off beyonce...who in my opinion ripped off the person who invented the word DELICIOUS...is not a good idea. not in any language.

this FU-YOHLICIOUS (there i go again) campaign is not helping us with the foreigners. FU-YOH isn't even a word...in any language. i actually made a search using the online KAMUS DEWAN and this is the response i get when i type in the word FU-YOH!

literally translated as "NOT A SINGLE ENTRY CAN BE FOUND" but loosely translated as "NO ENTRIES FOUND"

on a different note...i was listening to the radio this afternoon and FLY.FM was having this FU-YOH contest where callers would call in and attempt to say FUUUUU-YOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH in one long breath and the person who can do it the longest wins RM100 (FUIYOH....SO MUCH MONEY!!!!). anyway...this chick called in and her name was LALA.....enough said :P
