Re: How's Life?
Date: 2025-06-10 02:45 am (UTC)Friend works for a company that sells, let's say, spanners. The company is doing an advertising campaign for their spanners. They have decided the best way to advertise them is to commission a series of billboards with slogans to the effect of "Everyone hates Sweden and their food is nasty". This is because their main competitor is Swedish. NOBODY knows this competitor is Swedish, because nobody checks the origin of the manufacturer of their spanners. If they did know, they wouldn't care, because nobody has a beef with Sweden, or with Swedish food, and none of that would be relevant when buying a spanner anyway. Friend has no power to change the ad campaign. I have reluctantly agreed that it's the worst campaign I've ever heard of. Company sounds like it's wandered off the set of The Apprentice.
