Personally it wouldn't matter who they enlist in my opinion. I still wouldn't shop there.

If they have what I want at the price I like I will shop there.

I would have thought that his "Mad...." IP would have been sold when he sold out the butchery business. Seems negligent of the buyers to not see this coming.

MikeB4: If they have what I want at the price I like I will shop there.

Maybe the answer is to combine bottom end electronics and bottom end butchers.

"Morning. Can I have a hard drive and a kilo of beef mince please?"

A bit like a French hypermarket where you could buy a car, golf clubs, a bbq, get an eye test or new glasses and do the weekly shop all in one shop!

He's a great man Peter Leitch. Perhaps they're trying to leverage his reputation to appeal more to the lay person?

Who doesn't love a good meat pun in their ads?

You haven't seen Dick Smith's Australian advertising. There's more dick ... smith jokes than you can shake a stick at.

Worst NZ advertising pun I have ever seen - probably worst in the world - was from a van belonging to a well known national company that sells booze.

"Liquor. She'll love it!"

Typically the only thing Mad I see about Dicky's deals is that they expect people to pay so much for such rubbish.
