Kasarani, part 2

I know this is obvious but the reason the orange stumble could be so damaging in Kasarani is that really strong alternatives exist, and the alternatives are seen as cooler. Don't discount the banana factor. It's a real thing. And we've got it in spades. Orange has become the anti-cool, the platform for losers.

The amazing thing is that the Orange stumbled then with a bad stunt just at a time it could least afford such a mistake. Back in the era of the referendum, ODM had the field to itself. Narc-Kenya was still a baby, and Kanu, well, let's say was wandering in a dark place. And ironically in those days ODM was doing decent work. Sort of. Decent for them, anyway.

But now? They're way behind. And people are starting to realize they don't need to put up with Hummers, blame games, and all the other joys of Oranges. We've been hammering on this message for years now and it is starting to sink in, even with total orangetards. Not only is FOAM the cool party, it's also better. Way better. Maybe it's just because I live here on the hill but honestly It's like an IQ test. You see someone cry out Orange and it's like seeing those people in the checkout line at the supermarket store writing a paper check for two thousand shillings worth of stuff. You want to scream at them and go, "Jesus Christ, there's this thing called a debit card, have you heard of it? Or credit cards? Visa? Mastercard? Ringing any bells? No?"

Or, as my buddies put it: "Oranges are for fucking retards."
