For anyone who missed Sainsbury’s About Now, and the glorious performance of Slingshot founder and Dragon’s Den star Annette Presley, here’s a link from YouTube. Hat tip to Runasa. Some of these quotes are priceless.

I would like to apply for the (soon to be vacant) CEO position at Slingshot.
I will be leaving my current job as CEO of a major public company soon (slight disagreement with the shareholders), and even though I am totally useless, have no idea about business and am as ugly as a turd on a stick, that slapper makes me look great.
You may call me on: 018, 123 or 126 and ask for ‘The Fish’.
Whether in the board room or the farm dairy, Presley believes luck stops at where you are born and “from there on you are on your own to make your own successes.”
hahahaha its funny how desperate telecon are getting… how much money did they waste paying there agents to make this one up! nice try Teresa but your still the most useless CEO in Nz business history hahaha sucks to be you!
How old is she – mid 50’s? I thoughlt that was fabulous!!Annette is truly of this decade Sylvania Waters/ Lynn of Tawa rolled into a Kevin Berkahn costume. She is an abundance of culture – West meets Takapuna. You can take the girl out of the farm, but you cant take the farm out of the girl. Go back to your pig pen Annette.

I’m so proud of NZ’s business leaders… Not! Who is more embarrassing: her, or Theresa Gattung?

Six minutes… heh heh heh.
Like many women in the dairy industry, Presley works closely in the business with her husband…

Telecom doing some astroturfing ala Inconvenient spoof?
Yeah she is a little rough around the edges, she wasn’t drunk, just incredibly nervous…imho

Only slighted edited, i’d hate to see a heavily edited piece, snooooort.

Damn, that’s some pretty brutal editing. I mean, I laughed… Hard. But…
It was so nicely done though. And I’m given to understand that the raw video wasn’t that different …
Odds on the astroturf theory, then? Some wag at Saatchis?
Cheers,

Our info suggests some wag at Telecom. I mean who else would have the motivation to go to so much effort? It’s a fine edit job.

Hey boss – that was awesome. I knew that someday someone would take you seriously. Mark obviously did
COOL !!!

What Annette would be angrry about is that it looks like she has put on some pudding.
August 13th, 2006 at 10:14 pm
