London Evening Standard Showcases New Mascot And Street Execitive Uniform
THE Evening Standard doesn’t need to charge money – it just needs a mascot.
Right now London Paper street executives are ditching their mauve nylon gowns for a big fluffy pig suit.
Everyone loves a pig – or a parrot, right Ralph Nader!
The Washington Post has a mascot called Dan and just look at how the readers love it.
How’s the newspaper industry, kids?
Rrrrruff!
The Top Five Evening Standard Street Executive Costumes:
* Black shirts, boots and belt. Paper’s are delivered with a smart snap of a raised right hand – a nod to the paper’s past as former owner Lord Rothermere once shouted “Hurrah for the Blackshirts”.
* Gary Glitter – Once more a costume that looks back to look forward. This Vendor’s Trendor ™ pays tribute to the Evening Standard’s former stable mate The Daily Mail.
* T-shirts bearing the legend “Tube Seats Give You Cancer” – accompanied by a yelled enjoiner that cancer can be prevented by sitting on a newspaper.
* Noel Edmonds – because people will take anything from Edmonds, no matter how crap it is.
* A Sleeping Tramp.
Support Anorak – it’s the future…
