Marketing Tools
Posted May 6, 1999
The Human Race is a truly gulable thing isn't it? I can say this because I am one - a human that is. I also say this because there are some amongst us that are very clever at manipulating the Human mind. They are called 'marketing executives'.
Has anyone noticed how you buy things on an impulse? For example, you go into a shop for a drink, and come out with thirty bottles of shampoo because there was a good offer on that brand, despite it causing severe pain to the lower left eyelid. Clever tools like playing music in a record shop makes you want to buy it, and placing new products on the counter where you pay causes you to notice them. And what is this with bringing out new versions of old chocolate bars? I mean, chunky KitKats? Toffee Crisp clusters? Dairy Milk Quick? How gulable do these people think the general public are?
Obviously the answer is 'very', seeing as so many people seem to be buying into it.

Stuff to spout about
Posted Apr 29, 1999
Generally spout stuff it says. Ok, I'm gonna think of something to spout. Erm......right, question: is it universal, or solely on this small harmless planet that eyeliner of the liquid variety is so difficult to apply? If anyone has any idea of what I am going on about, please let me know as i have no clue whatsoever. Can you tell?
