And the Plinkett approach worked great for Star Trek and Star Wars, I just think it doesn't work that well for anything that doesn't have that mass fandom aspect. The Star Trek ones were especially apt because they included a lot of things that you want to say but you can't say because you know they make you sound like that (WHY DOES DATA'S EMOTION CHIP LOOK DIFFERENT NOW? I DON'T LIKE THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT) The moment he shows Picard dropping the kurlan naiskos with the crash-tingle sound effect is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life, but...

I can't watch First Contact anymore without thinking about that small room on the ship that can only be accessed by crawling through a tunnel and has no purpose except having a force field window that shows a nice view of Earth. It's the most insignificant complaint ever, but I love it.

Stuff like EVD was at least hard to turn into a word so the virus/disease were relatively separate. Also COVID is a dumb sounding word and is too close to Corvid, the coolest of birds.

Clothing marketers have to somehow justify their full-time employment even after they've run out of ways to say "they look good" and "they are comfortable" so they are desperately casting around for any possible distinguishing factor to put in ads.

I'm pretty sure the KFC Console counts as Dumb Marketing quote:"Moving forward from our initial teaser campaign earlier this year, we're so pleased to finally give the fans exactly what they wanted; making the KFConsole a reality," said KFC PR boss Mark Cheevers. "We all know the console war is vicious, but we're very confident in the KFConsole as our flagship entry. This machine is capable of running games at top-level specs, all on top of keeping your meal warm for you to enjoy during your gaming experience... what's not to like? If Sony or Microsoft want any tips on how to engineer a chicken chamber for their efforts next time, they'd be welcome to get in touch." https://www.gamesradar.com/kfc-launches-4k-240fps-gaming-console-with-a-built-in-chicken-warmer/
