The municipal elections are just around the corner, so there are big posters with the heads of local politicians all over the country. Zondag met Lubach cleverly responds to this with the Poster Toaster app.
Create your own election poster with the Poster Toaster
During the previous elections, the VPRO program presented the Tamagotchi-like app Kamergotchi, with which you had to take care of a politician. This year, ZML returns with the Poster Toaster, an app that allows you to create an election poster with your own head on it in an instant.
In doing so, ZML is responding to the countless posters of local parties that hang throughout the country. Before you can use the app, you first enter your email address, place of residence and a code. The app then fires a number of questions at you. You choose your favorite color (such as Trump orange, broken black or rainbow), a logo that best suits your fictional party and answer a number of random questions. After answering, take a selfie and the toaster will get to work.
Finally, a randomly generated poster will appear on your screen with your selfie including a matching political slogan. The app is filled to the brim with word jokes and references to existing parties, but (of course) never mentions them by name.
Vote for the best poster
And it doesn’t stop there, because to stay in the style of the election, people can vote for the best posters. If you score the most likes with your poster after the elections, then you are the star of your municipality. In the app you can easily scroll through all created posters, and you can filter by municipalities, popularity and date. Judging by the wide range of posters, ZML has again had a hit with the Poster Toaster.
