Products that make you who you are?
 

Just watched a SEIKO watch advertisement on tv before the 8 o'clock news. The slogan went something like "SEIKO. It's your watch that tells most about who you are" and it got me thinking... How can a product tell most about who I am?
What is this? Will that watch really bring me success, and turn me into a cunt that you normally see hanging around the bar area at a golf coarse, giving rounds on the house, while bragging about the pedigree stallion he just bought?
Probably.

Do you have a brand that you can't live without, and why?

none that i cant live without but some that are important to me i guess. i suppose it depends on the product. i do have favourites that i go back to again and again.

trojan.

except without U2.

Preparation H
Depends
Metamucil

I've found that women size you up by your footwear (& shoe size).
Watches can be important as well (& hand size).

mmmm i love guys hands .
i dont care if theyre big man-hands or delicate and birdlike . i love em mMMmm mmm .

(or hand-beauty...whatever the hell that may mean)
some are big on hair too, but i'm digressing off of the subject of "products."






remember when George was a hand-model?

I dated a hand model once. she was as crazy as a loon.
after the very first time we had sex, she had her mom doing astrological charts on me.

hrmmm, bizarre ... motherly astrology doesnt usually kick in until the 5th or 6th date, at least .

i cant think of a single brand that i depend on and never sway from . oh , mac makeup when i can afford it .

i just had to move my cat to linoleum so he doesnt puke on the carpet .

No, I'm too indie for this.

Just so we clear you are speaking of this right?

Herbal Essences shampoo. Covergirl powder compact. Maybelline Great Lash mascara. Superficial biotch.

hurray for marketing!

Realdoll

Ha!

i had no idea we had so many whores on the board.

i do not fall victim to the guises of materialism.

i dont need some fucking corporate trash shit to tell me who i am.


plus 5 billion hardcore points.

slut.

I think I'd fall under that category too. I'm sick of buying things off of companies where someone at the top is making $1000000000 yet they don't pay their employees shit!

I used to buy my groceries exclusively from the local fruit and veg shop, but it closed down (sad emoticon).

My fag bag tells the most about me.

Please don't tell me that you haven't got a brand you regularly use, when it comes to dying your hair?

I'm a whore for worshiping macintosh, by the way.

sennheiser

uh,i forgot to say why : "coz my ears are thankful".live with it, even if it does not make sense.

hm no, not really.

I second that. The music inside tells MUCH about who am I.

independent albums

Sony under fire for "racist" advertising
Posted Jul 6th 2006 4:05AM by Ryan Block

Sony, seriously, this is getting out of hand. Every time we want to rethink what you're doing and try to back you guys up, you go and pull some stunt like this latest ad campaign in Holland, which, as one can see above, depicts a "white PSP" avatar/model violently holding the mouth of a "black PSP" avatar/model -- in commemoration of the launch of the ceramic white PSP, of course. The billboard pictured here is one of supposedly somewhere near 100 evocative images created for the campaign with the same theme, which found viewers of the ads -- and game lovers alike -- crying foul at Sony's latest foible cum PR fiasco (and believe us, we're sure to catch some fire for calling it just that). When it comes down to it we honestly don't think Sony is stupid enough to mean any ill will -- or smart enough to capitalize on a PR firestorm -- with such an ad campaign. But instead of confronting the issue and addressing peoples' concerns, they meagerly defended themselves to GamesIndustry.biz with the following: "The marketing campaign for the launch of the White PSP in the Benelux focuses on the contrast between the Black PSP model and the new Ceramic white PSP model," and "A variety of different treatments have been created as a campaign to either highlight the whiteness of the new model or contrast the black and the white models. Central to this campaign has been the creation of some stunningly photographed imagery..." Oh, make no mistake Sony, the animosity and drama of the imagery, the visceral emotional implication of powerful racial overtones, this is a huge blunder. And once again we find ourselves urging -- nay, demanding -- Tokyo reevaluate what the hell it is they're doing these days. Because mistake or not, this biz doesn't fly, Sony, and you're not helping the perception that you're an incredibly callous megacorp with little real direction.
