Well just saw this advert for an Audi in front of Avengers: Age of Ultron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1ceAFeT-7s  Can see the train of thought that leads to that but Jesus... A cinema showing full of kids made it better, a mum just laughing in front of us with her two kids asking what's funny. Also I wonder why Audi spent money on product placement for this film, there was a blatant few and on TV there is an advert comparing the A5 I think to the Avengers. Wouldn't of thought I be worth a high end car makers time really.

Whatever marketing deal they made years ago must be lucrative if they're still going. Iron Man's the most in-your-face about it, since they get to showcase a garage full of luxury cars every time he goes into his lab.

cheerfullydrab posted:They're worried about their jobs? "Wear all the Spuds MacKenzie t-shirts you want!" is a more dangerous proposition than "ban Spuds MacKenzie t-shirts", because one of those definitely pisses off powerless students who can't do anything, but the other option might possibly piss off parents, administrators, voters in school board elections, school board members themselves, etc. Causing trouble for the one group has way less risk than possibly being hassled by the other group. Even kids have to make decisions like this, everyone does. Blend in our stand out.

Cakefool posted:After my wedding we couldn't get hold of the photographer for nearly 6 months then a cd was slipped through the door containing a mix of full and low res images and I heard shortly afterwards he quit the business. So he never got paid, because how could I? Turns out the photos taken by a friend and guest were actually better through. So you're saying he never ever requested payment? Wow. Side: As a writer/editor of over 15 years, I definitely agree with the point of view that photos shouldn't be used or watermarked without getting permission from the original photographer. I see a lot of photographers who get hosed over and it sucks. That said, I have never, ever, ever interacted with a photographer who wasn't a pretentious douchebag, or a guy with basic photography skills passing themselves off as an artist. I'm sure there are many pro photographers who aren't, but I've never met one in the dozens of interactions I've had. Dumb move in marketing: In 2002, the people of Lauderhille Florida wanted to promote their town with a ceremony for the upcoming Martin Luther King Day. They got celebrated black actor James Earl Jones as their featured speaker, and commemorated a plaque and some stamps. Somewhere along the line, someone hosed up hard:  James Earl Ray shot MLK Drunk Nerds has a new favorite as of 23:18 on May 17, 2015 |

Old folks that were alive in the 1940s love to romanticize and/or sentimentalize WWII as the greatest thing that ever happened in their lifetimes for some ugly and strange reason. Also, the AMURICAH LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT THIS IS ARE COUNTRY mentality of others. Parody or satire something from both camps, and you've got offended people.

McDonald's is continuing to rage against the dying of the light....I think we've officially reached the point in industrial capitalism where McDonald's is having its noble, Sean Bean worthy death scene, and it's a sight to behold. Pinkham sums it up better than I can in this little bit on the most odious and absurd commercial in McDonald's recent advertising push: http://kitchenette.jezebel.com/what-the-hell-is-happening-in-mcdonalds-recent-hamburgl-1704618583 And here's some more lovely, tone deaf stuff for your amusement. #Millenials #Sirloin #FORCETHELOVINDOWNYOURTHROAT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri2ehtK2Fus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPcG5npVM94 I gotta admit though, "Enjoy this lovin' while it lasts" is probably the most unintentionally apt slogan McDonald's has yet come up with.

You go from being a much maligned knock off to listcle kings, while your former competitors wallow in obscurity having broken one of the founder's main desires.

Broken Cog posted:I really don't see the problem with that shirt at all. Seriously? I mean I'm sure a lot of people are mad because Old Racist White People and Support Are Troops but come on. The original photo is from an island that was basically a big horrific dirty meat grinder covered in poo poo and rats that nations threw young men into for like a month for no good reason and IIRC like half those guys in the pic were killed before they ever got to leave the island. It's a clever shirt idea and if someone was selling it on etsy or something, nobody would bat an eye but big companies are generally held to a much more conservative standard and will probably need to wait another couple of generations before they can get away with profiting off the deaths of kids haha oh god who am I kidding.

Zaphod42 posted:"He calls the Sirloin third pound burger from mcdonalds the sirloin third pound burger from mcdonalds.... Wait, are they really trying to market a third pound burger? Take into consideration what happened when A&W tried that: quote:One of the most vivid arithmetic failings displayed by Americans occurred in the early 1980s, when the A&W restaurant chain released a new hamburger to rival the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. With a third-pound of beef, the A&W burger had more meat than the Quarter Pounder; in taste tests, customers preferred A&W’s burger. And it was less expensive. A lavish A&W television and radio marketing campaign cited these benefits. Yet instead of leaping at the great value, customers snubbed it.

A lot of nicer burger places do 1/3 of a pound per patty, so that could be McDonalds' reasoning, make them seem more like a real restaurant rather than one where the odor of dirty socks wafts in every time the door to the playplace is opened.
