I love the fine Dr. Martens products. I love their boots. I love their shoes. And I can say I am indifferent towards the ads. Are they offensive? Yeah, I can see how they might be to some people, but for fuck's sake, how is this important shit? Humans certainly enjoy vainglorious pursuits. The people that did the ads are idiot drones; the media reporting on the "controversial" ads are idiot drones as well. At any rate, a man named Bill Hicks had a stong opinion on this subject.
By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself. Thank you, thank you. Just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day they'll take root, I don't know. You try. You do what you can. Kill yourselves. Seriously though, if you are, do. No really, there's no rationalisation for what you do, and you are Satan's little helpers, OK? Kill yourselves, seriously. You're the ruiner of all things good. Seriously, no, this is not a joke. "There's gonna be a joke coming..." There's no fucking joke coming - you are Satan's spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage, you are fucked and you are fucking us, kill yourselves, it's the only way to save your fucking soul. Kill yourself.
I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too. "Oh, you know what Bill's doing? He's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market. He's very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags.
