The real danger for the Merchant of Fruit
Authored by: DieterWasDriving on Monday, January 14 2013 @ 07:10 PM EST
Paid-for marketing? I'm shocked. Errmm, !shocked!

With a description like "youth marketing agency Buzz Marketing Group",
I'm pretty sure this is directly from a movie script. One where the middle-aged
marketing people are desperately pretending they know what's hip. Lobster is
served on china, but the Pepsi is drunk from a can. And all of the products have
labels squarely facing the camera, no matter what angle the shot.

Perhaps Microsoft Phone 8 is on the way
Authored by: Ian Al on Tuesday, January 15 2013 @ 04:26 AM EST
I can only guess what way that will be and how the Phone 8 partners will react!


Helpful branding suggestion: Fulmin 8 @ Microsoft.

Helpful relaunch suggestion: Surface -> Sink.

The real danger for the Merchant of Fruit
Authored by: ukjaybrat on Tuesday, January 15 2013 @ 09:28 AM EST
The worst is whenever you watch ANY CBS programming, there
is usually a windows plug for one of their devices. The best
is when they use skype and the video quality is crystal
clear even though we've all had our experiences with skype
and it's usually blurry, lagging, and glitchy most of the
time.

Which brings me to an actual question for you lawyered minds
out there. What gives advertisers the right to distort the
difference in quality between their products and those of
the competitor. I understand there are loopholes, but is
basically in violation of the spirit of false advertisement
is it not?

IANAL
