Electoral madness – movie theatre postcards for votes!

May 13th, 2009 by Andrew Walker · Add a Comment

A while ago we drew reader’s attention to the marvellous Southeast Asia Movie Theatre Project.

Sadly, the project has clearly been corrupted by the allure of electoral populism. I am told that they are offering a “free movie theater postcard for the first 50 people who cast their vote on one of the theater signs” displayed on the site.

This sort of outright electoral manipulation should be condemned!

But if you want to be corrupted you better be quick.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
