Unappetising advertising

The weather in Joburg is dreadful today. The cloud is hanging low, it's raining, dark and thoroughly miserable. But, at least we have electricity, unlike Cape Town! See local newspapers such as Cape Times or Cape Argus or Carte Blanche, a magazine and actuality programme.
But, I digress. What I really want to chat about is something that I saw on one of Jobrug's highways late yesterday afternoon. After spending a lovely afternoon with my partner's family (it was a birthday) and chatting about all sorts, the drive home was uneventful - until....
Sitting in the passenger seat I was casually gazing out of the window when I saw a huge sign for Anat (falafel and shwarma) on a wall on the side of the highway. It was huge. In the split second that my mind registered the sign and I thought, 'oh, that's quite cool', my mind then registered the most disgusting It was stuck to the wall next to the sign. It was gross. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a vegetarian or against meat-on-a-spit. In fact, I adore a schwarma at least once a month. But. This was not nice. Simple as that. Anat has ruined a great sign with this lardy and very unappetising advertising ploy. No I won't be able to enjoy a schwarma for a very long time. Thanks a bunch guys.
