Two days in a product management class and all I take away is that we live in a disposable, capitalist society where nothing is ever good enough for people. Midway through today I realized that I'm Lloyd Dobler:
I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.
There's got to be some (decently paying) job out there that would let me work with animals without having to know chemistry. Now accepting ideas...
Okay, speaking of commercialism etc. I just saw product placement within an ad for another product. The main product was an SUV of some sort, and featured prominently in the background (THREE times!) was a Wild Oats market. Aside from the fact that there's not even a Wild Oats market anywhere near the Bay Area (unless Reno counts)... what a blatantly obnoxious ad.
ReplyDeleteAt least Volvo made fun of themselves with the "not all Volvo drivers like to hike!!" ad.
(Er, I meant VW not Volvo.)
