Apparently, marketers aren't the sharpest crayons in the box. A few noteworthy incidents that deserve mention:
1.
Look closely at the oddly rectangularly-shaped blades of grass surrounding two tall starbucks refreshers, with a dragonfly heading straight towards one of the cups. Reread the slogan, and facepalm.
2. A Swedish company called Locum wanted to do something special for some Christmas advertising. So, they replaced the "o" in their name with a heart.
Brilliant.
3. Oh Panasonic.
I can't do the story justice. Just scroll to the bottom and read: http://www.cracked.com/article_2043...rketing-disasters-by-famous-companies_p2.html
A few side notes,
- cracked.com is awesome
- yes, I'm alive and no, I'm not pregnant
- what forum is this?
