Yellow is my favorite color.
Calling your ex-wife a nigger is obviously a few rungs below holding a knife to your 3rd wife’s throat in the realm of marital relationship no-no’s.
But does anyone understand why Charlie Sheen was in the Hanes ads in the first place?
The Writerbabe seeks clarity.
The unfortunate debacle that is the life of Tiger Woods (and his “marriage”) is celebrated with a not-so-graceful cover photo for Vanity Fair. Tiger displays unsightly hairy nipples and a softly defiant expression of “Yeah, I fucked around on my wife – see these dumbells?”
But, maybe I’m reading too much into it.
It’s too bad that such onerous marital behavior is only negatively accented with a few lost campaign ads and an absurdly stupid Vanity Fair cover photo.
Corporations expect the strict confines of their product’s definition to flow into their chosen brand messiah.
We consumers have seen seen this branding loop-de-loop before. The corporate formula of consumerism is always broken down into the game of ”one” — campaigning for an individual (or corporation) to represent a singular idea en masse.
This doesn’t jive, however, with the modern notions of branding.
No one can be all the things. But, they can’t be one idea either.
