- defrost 3y agoThe Commonwealth (Australia | UK at least) terminology of recent years is to call this Throwing a dead cat on the table a technique perfected by some Australian|New Zealand marketing consultants that turned to politics and advised both the AU and UK Governments. Boris Johnson (former UK PM) perfected the technique .. no matter how bad an actual real news worthy political event might be .. no paper pays attention if you announce something totally bonkers and ridiculous at the same time. Good Grief! Did you see that!! He threw a dead cat on the table!!!
