The Low Down On Marketing....


"No Comment(s)!"
Appear to be building quite a loyal fan base among CU marketeers!  


Who could ask for more?


[Yes siree! Let's go ahead and stir that pot one more round!] 

You might want to check out the recent article/post by James Robert Lay over at www.cuinsight. com. Appears that some of Mr. Lay's commenters are not taking their "anger management" medicine as prescribed! Many of those "little messageers" are, shall we say, "Shades of Gray"....  fit to be tied!!!


The blogpost which really stoked their ire was

With "game on" and the vultures circling, thought it best to call for some expert, professional opinions on marketing...



*  Judge Learned Hand - "The Black Art."


                            *  H. G. Wells - "Legalized Lying."

    *  George Orwell - "Rattling A Stick Inside A   Bucket Of Swill."

    *  Edwin Land - "What you do when your product is no good."


    *  Abraham Lincoln - "You can fool all of the people some of the time; some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time... [unless you have a really large marketing budget]."

     * Thorstein Veblen - "Any product can be marketed when pushed with a sufficient lack of scruples."

      *  The Marlboro Man drinks New Coke!


Mais Oui !!!

    *  Paris Hilton - "I am a marketing genius."
  
.... say no more!

Marketing is an infectious disease capped with self-aggrandizing annual awards. What marketers do best is market themselves.

I love a great commercial! Nothing wrong with GMO foods! I love Twinkies! Wonder Bread actually built my body more than 12 different ways. The Marlboro Man lived into his 80's! My Keds helped me run faster and jump higher.
