Clifton Trawler Shipwreck Receives Butlers Pizza Delivery [VIDEO]

Tugboats tried again yesterday to pull free Eihatsu Maru, the Japanese trawler stranded on Clifton beach in Cape Town. The rope snapped – just as it did yesterday – and it occurred to all at 2oceansvibe Media, that the crew (and dog) on board might be feeling somewhat peckish. So we did what any self-respecting Capetonian would do when feeding foreign guests – we ordered them Cape Town’s #1 pizza, Butlers pizza.

As you know, Butlers Pizza only deliver. So that’s exactly what we did – direct to the ship.

And the boys did good! Click play on the video above to check out the madness.

It’s no wonder these waters are known as the ‘Tavern of the Seas.’

Nandos should have ‘gotten on board!’

Their ad could have been:

‘Sorry Japan it’s not raw fish, but think of it as Chicken ‘on’ the sea!’

While one of your signs was in Korean (methinks) you didn’t have one in Mandarin (most of the crew hails from Taiwan). But who cares… it’s the thought that counts (and the publicity of course!) Well done, 2OV and Butlers!

“Don’t get him a chicken bone then – Get him, like, a springbok bone or something”

Why on earth are you giving them free pizza? I wonder how butlers is going to cover the costs of that order. Probably have some snakey way to cover the costs at the expense of their employees.

Nice try at a marketing ploy, but a fail attempt. International News Headlines? Are you out of your mind?

This is pathetic. Debonairs all the way.
