The list of disasters goes on and on in advertising "halls of shame", like the slogan "Come alive with Pepsi" of a few years ago that translated in SA to "Pepsi brings you back from the dead", but the best was in today's papers: Reebok named a women's running shoe "Incubus", an evil spirit that sexually attacks sleeping women. That really gets the "idiot gene of the year award"! jeh@fotec.com http://www.fotec.com/jim.htm veni, vidi, veloce |
