Take on life.....in style.
Because living is such adversity. How do zombies feel about that?

What do vegetarian zombies cry out cravings for?
"Grains! ...Grains.!"
One of the weirdest marketing campaigns I heard of is when an advertiser uses CGI to have a dead celebrity come back to life and shill for their product. Sometimes the image crosses into "uncanny valley" territory, and is very creepy.

They're PANTS, not "a pant". God I hate that. "Try our awesome new PANT."
That sure is a nice PANT you're wearing there, Jim.
Christ.

Somebody wrote this with a straight face.Coca-Cola describes [the new Coke flavor, "Byte"] as the first "flavor born in the metaverse," and says it "celebrates the everyday magic of pixels coming together to facilitate digital connection."
(And got paid for it.)
(And still has a job.)
(And is a human being on this planet.)

There is stevia, a zero-calorie sweetener that comes from the veponymous plant, that has been used in other countries for hundreds of years.
"What hind of plant is the eponymous?" Why you ignrant, uneducated fool! It means "of the same name" like when a group mreleases a record with the band's name.

Excellent work, that post hits different.

"Baby" instead of "YOUR baby" or even "A baby". God DAMMIT is that annoying. "Get the best nutrition for BABY." "Make BABY comfortable." FUCK BABY.

Right. The only time it's proper to say BABY is when that they're name. So unless every single infant in all of these commercials is named BABY, then my complaint stands.

Re: [Living Document] Marketing errors.
No sir that would be "Nugenix TOTAL T", the leading testosterone booster!
* key Frank Thomas in a gym
A white yuppie couple walks in she points to him and asks her husband:
Wife: "Is that Frank Thomas?!"
Husband: "Yeah! The big hurt!"
Wife: "More like the big hunk!" (JEEZ! Go over there and blow him already, lady!)
Husband:
Frank then proceeds to confirm that her husband is a weakling that can't get it up enough, and he needs that TOTAL T ASAP.

Re: [Living Document] Marketing errors.
There is an ad running four times an hour on Comedy Central for "LUME" with a line over the E, pronounced "Loo-mee", and within the first fifteen seconds, an unattractive woman with her face taking up the whole screen mentions "butt cheeks" and "crotch odor".
I'm out.
