Superman is Here!

Today’s Theme: It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane! No, It’s Superman! (Is It?)

The banner says it all: “The Power of Creativity”. Representative by day; crime-fighting superhero by night. Want the people to vote for you? Show’em your sexy, inviting yellow briefs and bulging pecs. That’ll surely get you a seat in the Parliament.

When you’re chased by a creepy thug in Balikpapan, you know whom to call. Let’s just hope that Kalimantan’s mineral-rich land doesn’t contain chunks of Kryptonite. At least, don’t let it fall into his opponents’ hands. Now, who wants to be his hairstylist?

If Sabaruddin only shows himself in Superman costume, this guy adds a mantra to it. “Ikhlas Mengabdi” roughly means “Serving Faithfully”. Hey, I just realized that he’s a candidate from Jakarta, although not from my municipality. Tonight, I can have a nice, peaceful sleep knowing that Heza/Superman is out patrolling the city.

This is the last Superman (that I have in my folder - who knows how many will pop up on the internet these days). The previous guys don’t directly point to Superman, except by the costume; this man plays the Superman card better. Superman + Rony = Superoni. Wait, why not Superony? Mmmm, superoni = super pepperoni.

The bottom line: Superman is giving Beckham a run for his money in being the most popular image to use in the campaign. The bad news: the market for Superman is saturated and you must resort to other characters like Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, or Doraemon.
