All the car marketing stuff makes a little more sense now. Now, for a commercial that knows exactly who its talking to. It's one guy. The actual guy in the commercial. https://youtu.be/0ZUFOjrLErU I feel like I know that guy. He works in a men's clothing store in the daytime and sells just enough coke to support his habit and make the payments on BLACK GOLD. He snorts monster rails off of the belly of some disco bunny with banana tits. After a long weekend of dancing, coke and fragrant hairy waterbed sex he just likes to go out and look at BLACK GOLD. As he gazes upon his fine steed he feels his penis plump up a little bit. After he reaches down and pushes his half full dick down his pants leg he slides down his shades, jingles his keys a little and decides to go for a drive. THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO OPTIONS.

bongwizzard posted:I bought a ScionXB as my first new car when I was in my mid/late 20's. My entire thought process was "It's cheap as poo poo, aggressively ugly, and insanely roomy inside". It was a great little car, I put almost 200k on it with no major repairs and I was a fool for selling it. I think my payments were like $200-300 a month? I have an xB now. I also did not buy it because I thought it looked cool. It's like a toaster on wheels. I refer to it as an "econobox".

Grumbletron 4000 posted:If people are participating in it and enjoying it I'd say it's successful. If it means Arby's sells some sandwiches then they've identified with some people in a fun way. That's good marketing. Blatant pandering usually isn't well received. That's kinda what I was thinking. They're not going for epic le doge meme or anything. Their stuff is no doubt pandering but it's just enough to be charming and it's not crossing over kinda like Sonic Twitter and Dennys have.

Arby's isn't really obnoxious with its pandering. It's not yelling "LOOK AT HOW COOL WE ARE EPIC MEME," it's just going "Here's a thing I made out of a fry carton, it looks like Bender. Well, bye."

ToxicSlurpee posted:Sort of. If memory serves you can't legally say "gently caress" on the radio to this day. Fleeting, unintentional expletives are legal on broadcasts and even if someone did it on purpose it would require people to complain about it first. The FCC doesn't monitor every single thing on the airwaves and spit out fines like on Demolition Man.

Dunno if anyone else feels the way I do with the fuckload of dumb emoji merchandise, I work at a Walmart and I've seen the following, all an emoji: piggy banks, beam bag chairs, plushies, cups, shirts, glasses, cereal bowls, birthday/other cards, jewelry, temporary tattoos There's so much of it and its seriously plastered on anything with pretty much zero creativity involved I really don't them, and Pepsi in particular makes me sad because instead of doing cool stuff with the designs (dr pepper has cool artwork on some) of the bottles or do something along the share a coke/song, but nope let's just plaster emojis all over our bottles because that's what all the kids love now!! I really want to know what went down in the conference room "hmm kids and teens love these emojis, let's put them on our bottles to show we love emojis too! stringball has a new favorite as of 09:42 on Aug 21, 2016 |

Still not sure if it's better to live in this universe where they shot the gorilla or the alternate universe where they didn't and the kid got hurt and the gorilla got killed anyway.

Pillows are the ones I see most popular.

Their rise to popularity is just how long it took for prebaked emoticons to be a button on all phone keyboards. Why they exploded like they did, real product wise, who knows. That poo poo is so tacky, it's half a step away from being a meme shirt. I just want more sarcastic emojis, myself. When we get equivalents to       to put in text, maybe I will use them. I can make a smiley face with punctuation, it's not difficult in the slightest

Chaperoned a bunch of teens on a science museum field trip. Most of them bought $20 stuffed emojis in the gift shop. Time spent in the exhibits vs. time in gift shop was depressing as well. Like, we just spent 2 hours in a janky bus so you guys could go shopping for crap you can buy at your local Walmart.

The Natural History Museum in London is pretty interesting in that the gift shop stuff ranges from £6 dinosaur toys and stationary and all that cheap poo poo to high-end jewelry, clothes and art prints costing upwards of £100. Most of the museums I've been in just have priced-up cheap crap, but that museum has some real upmarket stuff too.

Everything. awful.app has a keyboard you can choose to put onto your phone through its keyboard settings that is just an extra emoji keyboard with all the smilies you have access to in awful.app It links them as images from your phone, so you're still just sending a .gif, but they're all there and you can just tap any single one to send.
