So… here’s how the marketing meeting at Steamworks went. “Our travel iron is so powerful – it really flattens your wrinkled shirt.” –insert mind altering substance– “In fact it could probably flatten entire cities!”
Wow – thanks a lot – another thing that we can’t pack into carry-ons!
BTW – your world-destroying iron doesn’t look so menacing in real life! It’s a puny little thing! Maybe you’re overcompensating for feelings of inadequacy! (especially since you couldn’t possible flatten the Eiffel tower…)
In case you’re in Ottawa, Canada, next Monday (Sept 29th) – join us for the 10th installment of DemoCamp featuring 6 cool startup demos. It’s held at the wonderful Velvet Room in the Byward Market.
If you’re unable to join us, make sure you do something velvety…
5. Listen to the Velvet Underground’s All Tomorrow’s Parties 4. Drink a velvet hammer 3. Watch David’s Lynch’s Blue Velvet 2. Paint a velvet Elvis portrait 1. Eat some Velveeta
It’s true. Pastry chefs all over the world have caved in to Peta demands that they stop using real cats in their yummy breakfast treats. What’s Peta going to demand next, that José Cuervo stop putting live weevils in tequila??? Sure, there’s the US financial crisis, BUT cat and weevil eaters are in crisis too!
Well, actually this is an print ad for Lifebuoy disinfecting hand soap. The ad claims “you eat what you touch.” Well, this claim is of course crap – thus if you touched it…
It’s a scandal that soap companies are still selling fear of germs. The sterile experience is an unsafe experience. Stay away from germs too long, and they’ll come back to bite you!
Go ahead, say “NO” to Big Soap Inc. – roll around in the dirt – drink from the public water fountain – kiss the Walmart greeter – share a cat croissant with stranger… You’ll feel better.
Dell Australia has this image on their website… Maybe it’s those wonky keyboards they’ve been shipping lately… or she’s afraid of the battery spoofing her face… or the contrast on that display is pretty dim – or twisted…
With such a lack of visual perspective, maybe Dell isn’t a good choice after all.
Ever since I had hair that made me look like I was part of a Twisted Sister tribute band – and then singed it starting a gas BBQ… my perspective on cooking meat has gone the way of the charcoal! It’s the only way to BBQ. The past year I’ve enjoyed a state of the art GrillPro BBQ…
I’ve now found that my “live-fire BBQ” experience has been seriously lacking. I need a Komodo Kamado ceramic refractive BBQ. Its design is based on Tandori and Italian cookers. The air circulation is well regulated and the insulation provided by the ceramic sheath is high.
Problem is the price… about $3,000. Steep yeah. Don’t worry though, this BBQ is insured by AIG!
If you haven’t heard of Lijit, there’s a little widget on our site that looks like this:
Lately, this widget has looked a little embarrassing for this site. I mean, to be fair, Mitch only wrote about JC Penny’s teen sex video once. Why this should become our most searched post barely makes sense. At any rate, we’ve kept our lijit search service because well, it’s generally useful. It works just a little different from our built in search function.
Lucky for us, we kept Lijit long enough for its best feature to start working. This is the ‘explore‘ button. This will link you into a matrix view of SensoryMetrics. It shows the points of intersection which SensoryMetrics touch. Suddenly, SensoryMetrics is given context and a place to be found on the internet shelf.
There was an army descending on Louisville, Kentucky today to safely transport a handwritten recipe on a 40-year old piece of paper. That recipe is KFC’s secret.
One way to protect intellectual property is to disclose the secret to everyone and file for legal protection. Another way is not to tell anybody.
The KFC secret recipe has probably been worth more as a marketing strategy than anything else. Still, the move of the recipe has the current president all a-twitter!
“I don’t want to be the president who loses the recipe,” KFC President Roger Eaton said. “Imagine how terrifying that would be.”
So important is the 68-year-old concoction that coats the chain’s Original Recipe chicken that only two company executives at any time have access to it. The company refuses to release their name or title, and it uses multiple suppliers who produce and blend the ingredients but know only a part of the entire contents.
So… here’s how the marketing meeting at Steamworks went. “Our travel iron is so powerful – it really flattens your wrinkled shirt.” –insert mind altering substance– “In fact it could probably flatten entire cities!”
