Sometimes marketing makes me want to cry



It's normal to get overcome by Weltschmerz after looking at a giant corporation's frozen sugar water poster, right?

Imagine being one of the people who sees something like this and thinks "Yup. I'm in. Let's do it." I wonder what that's like? Someone go and report back for me, ok?

Couple other things to add to the List, since we're getting official book keeping stuff out of the way here today: Mountain Dew. Coolatas. Entering to win a prize. Snowboards. The color yellow. "Other swag."

Anyone ENTER TO WIN A PRIZE lately? What was that experience like?

Giving all your personal details to marketing cunts is always a nailed-on brilliant idea.
Marketers 'covet' the 18-35 age group because they're morons distracted by anything shiny (or yellow)

Jokes on them then, because they won't want my info for much longer!!!!! :(

I wuold take a trip to an island, for sure. But not if I had to write my name down on something. That seems like a thing.

I want to die whenever I see the commercial where everybody says "IM DRINKIN DUNKIN!" I also find it annoying how everyone around here is obsessed with the fucking place like it's the only place to get coffee.

said...

Is there another place?
