Christ almighty if Bill Gates knew how badly brands would try to directly interact with consumers through staged uncanny dialogue he never would have invented the internet.

I bet they maintain a twitter account so they can make an unpaid intern talk directly to everyone who isn't buying their pathetic product.

There are six thousand companies that make t-shirts, why is it surprising that five companies make conductive gloves? That's called capitalism

To be honest though, unsolicited brand interaction has brought about some of the funniest moments in the past year.

Social media is a relatively new marketing channel and there's a bad combination of old people who don't understand technology and young people that don't understand marketing trying to use it.

Twitter is a terrible medium for any marketing anyways, at least compared the easily curated Facebook.

I know changing names to sound like bodily functions isn't a millennial thing, but perhaps doing it after 6th grade and doing it badly but thinking it's awesome is a millennial thing.

if the thread the gloves are woven out of is conductive then they don't need special pads which is probably what's going on there did you see the colors on the fingertips?

The only drawback is that they make my hands stink
