More Election Tools

Seems the Mahinda Rajapakse camp has found yet another way to campaign for their candidate... phone calls. You just might receive a call on your landline with someone asking whether you'd like to hear a message from the president. If you say yes, you'll get a nice recorded message. What did it say? Well my Sinhala is not that good, but I got the gist that it had to do with elections and the things he had done for the country.

I don't know, but this ridiculously high amount of exposure seems like a bad idea, like maybe it'll actually turn some people away.

  2. Last time (in 2005) they didn't wait for us to say yes. They simply played the recorded message after the intro "there's a message for you from the prime minister's office".
