Stodels gone crazy?

Incoming from Cape Town’s favourite garden centre chain (terms & conditions apply):

At first glance, that tagline:

…our petunias is at a ridiculous low price.

appears to be absolutely appalling English. Because it is. But, and this is mainly for local readers, apply a Cape Coloured accent to it, and suddenly – brilliantly – it works. Especially if you stick a bit of emphasis on the ri-DIC-ulous bit.

So jy moet gaan na Stodels, waar brand dit, eksê! Is moerse lekker deals there, my bra!

*ahem* Sorry about that.
