Bhutan rules because any tourists that go there have to have a guide with them at all times because they rightfully dont trust white people to not gently caress everything up for them. Also theyre carbon negative and red pandas live there. I like Bhutan :unsmith: and would never visit even if I wasnt poor as poo poo because I'd probably manage to gently caress everything up for them :saddowns:

I'd never actually read the wiki article for Bhutan which is weird cuz I love reading wiki articles about different countries, and lol

quote:

In 2014, Bhutan welcomed 133,480 foreign visitors.[148] Seeking to become a high-value destination, it imposes a daily fee of anywhere between US$180 to US$290 per day (or more) on tourists that covers touring and hotel accommodation.[149][150] The industry employs 21,000 people and accounts for 1.8% of GDP.[151] However the Bhutanese goal of attracting high value tourists can be criticized for actually only attracting wealthy tourists and poses the question on whether by definition "high quality" actually means "of wealth".[152][153]

"Mountain Research are renowned for their complex brand mythologies, and this season is no exception. The Mountain Research For Protestor Nylon Overpants in Black are a selection from the brand's FW'19 'For Protester' sub-collection which explores the intersection of civil disobedience, anarchist ideology, and radical subculture through thoughtful reinterpretations of a wide variety of casual and technical garments."

Mountain Research are well known for their complex and varied brand mythologies, and their '2020 Condition Warm' season is no exception to this rule. The SS20 sub-collection 'Mountain Man(s)' imagines a summer trip in which revolutionary thinkers and political leaders Karl Marx, Mao Zedong, Vladimir Lenin, and Henry David Thoreau embark on an extended camping and canoe expedition together. This strange conceptual anchor becomes a point of departure that allows for a mix of the useful, functional garments and playful graphic elements that have become the brand's hallmark.

You know your marketing is super successful when you have to keep reminding customers that "Mountain Research are well known for their complex and varied brand mythologies".

They're so well known that we have to tell you how well known they are over and over again, because it's well known how renowned they are for their complex and varied brand mythologies, and this year is no exception to how complex and varied their well known complex and varied brand mythologies are.

What the gently caress is it with food companies tilting their logos to the left? Pepsi did it (for Mountain Dew, too), Yum did it for Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, Burger King did it, etc. I'm guessing it's some sort of "brand engagement" bullshit, but, like, what's the deal?

It's the Dreamworks Smirk but more abstract.

e: Like one of the pages in that document analyzes a bunch of hypothetical pepsi logos and concludes that this one is like, smiling and inviting and also bold and transgressive or something, so I think it's literally the Dreamworks Smirk.
