I don't know why everyone is leaving out the best part of Tom Morello's response to Paul Ryan saying he likes Rage Against the Machine: "gently caress you, you are the machine."

lt_kennedy posted:Didn't it get changed just to 'Cheeseymite' or something like that because it was a 'milder' cheese and vegemite mix they wanted to market to non-Aussies. Vegemite Cheesybite. It's a mix of Vegemite and Kraft cream cheese.  As for the name iSnack 2.0: Wikipedia posted:The name was chosen by a panel of marketing and communication experts to appeal to a younger market, capitalising on the popularity of Apple's iPod and iPhone. I'm convinced that "social media/marketing expert" is the most full-of-poo poo job in existence.

I heard somewhere that this actually led to an increase in girls and women buying Yorkie bars. Probably what they intended all along with that. An "oh yeah? We'll see about that." kind of reaction. Still dumb.

Metal Loaf posted:Not so much a dumb move in marketing, but do you remember the Chupa Chups TV advertisement from a few years ago that got progressively shorter and increasingly badly-dubbed (with some really awkward editing to disguise how badly-dubbed it was) every time it was broadcast? There's this kid in the supermarket with his mum: the first time I saw the ad he said something to the effect of, "Look! New Chupa Chups lollipops! Can I have one, mum?" then in the last version his dialogue is, "Mum, please buy me sweets," dubbed in by the whiniest voice possible. The name "Chupa Chups" is kind of weird though because it's derived from the Spanish verb chupar, to suck. So it's like calling the candy sucky-suckies.

davidspackage posted:Speaking of badly aimed commercials, there's a brand of garbage chocolate (probably only European, not in the US) called Ritter Sport that has a commercial with people running around, riding karts, and it all seems to imply that really active and fit people love to munch on some chocolate inbetween kickflips and going biking in a muddy forest. It always strikes me as a really misfire way to push your product. Ritter Sport is marketed as a deluxe European chocolate in the US.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Or maybe the guy posted about it on twitter first and some people registered reddit accounts to ask questions? Somebody actually took the time to compile a list of the questions that got answered, and only three of the twenty were from brand new accounts, so it's not exactly "a bunch" and it was probably some interns or people who registered to ask, not the actual loving CEO sockpuppeting himself. The other 17 were already relatively established reddit accounts and I wouldn't exactly call it a gigantic dumbass move.

Sleeveless posted:Weird abstract game commercials are way better than just rolling some cutscenes and gameplay footage with some review quotes slapped on it and calling it a day. I would rather see what the game looks like, or even a live-action cutscene that shows some of the story, than have fuckin' racist caricature squirrels screaming about PORTABLE NUT.

I think the phenomenon of celebrities giving their children really loving stupid names must be partly due to crazy and partly because of yes men, so the end result is a new father with nobody willing to tell him that naming his bundle of joy Aristophanes Mountain Goat is a bad idea.

There are similar lab-made pigments whose differences are probably imperceptible to the human eye, so vantablack being the darkest pigment known to man is only really useful if you need it for more scientific purposes. umalt posted:Said artist is Anish Kapoor, who is responsible for the Bean in Chicago; and has a very public feud with Stuart Semple. Note that Vantablack isn't actually a paint, and Stuart Semple makes the blackest actual paint you can buy, and Anish Kapoor is just a dick.

Grumbletron 4000 posted:The Papa John thing pretty much boils down to the guy using the N bomb discussing why it's not ok to say ever, right? No it boils down to the guy (whose company is, or maybe was? the "official pizza of the NFL") blaming football players kneeling in protest of racist cops getting away with murdering black people for his company's declining profits. He's a tone-deaf racist idiot.
