It took way too long for it to click with me that it was the 9/11 memorial. Guess we forgot.

I’ve seen at least two photoshops that I swear came from SA if not in the first 24 hours absolutely in the first week 9/11 happened as a reaction to that framing.

I don't see the big deal. It's really common for sports teams to be named after a disaster that hit the area. You've got the San Jose Earthquakes, the Chicago Fire, the Carolina Hurricanes, the New York Jets...

No specific dumb marketing move, just some rambling thoughts on the state of commercials. I’ve been putting Unsolved Mysteries on PlutoTV on in the background while working. There’s something appealing to classic cable-esque format the streaming service provides. It’s ad supported. So there are commercial breaks. Is it me, or are modern commercials engineered to be cringe as humanly possible? A while back I would watch 80s and 90s commercial blocks on YouTube and they were charming and nostalgic. I started a 2000s block and quit after a Hillshire Farms commercial (The “Go Meat” campaign) because of secondhand embarrassment. I know I’m talking about advertisements, but there’s this total lack of sincerity to them. Pluto’s commercials range between cringey to irritating. They pick the most absolute irritating music to advertise things too.

80s commercials were loving abominable. Also, commercials have never been sincere, what the gently caress.

They were far more watchable than today’s. I just saw one that featured a guy dancing in a laundromat because of a doctor app. I hate this poo poo.

Depending on where you are in the world yes, here in Sweden banks are closing a lot of branch offices or moving to appointment only because they want to move the low earning customer activities to the internet or an app rather than the more expensive personal service work.

How would we know whether the right person physically signed a document, physical signatures being a thing that is still required in 2022.

Does anyone have a link to that long form Eddie Lampert/Sears article with the warring divisions and stuff? I've found it through Google before but now I'm just getting a bunch of crap on sites with recipe page amounts of ads. There was a really good one, similar to the Target article, that I remember reading.

We as a society need to accept that "I'll call today" "You'll call now  " "...I'll call now.  " is the peak of all past, present, and future advertisement.

A tired single mom returns home from work at 7 pm to her latchkey son, age 10. It is July 18, 1995. “Mom can we get a kenmore air conditioner from sears??” “Billy you idiot. We live in an apartment” Kid just shouts out “‘nother scorcher!” At random moments the rest of the summer mlnhd has a new favorite as of 03:10 on Jul 19, 2022 |
