| Rock the marketers So, what would marketing Armageddon look like?
Who would play the part of the 12th Imam? Who'd be Auntie Christ? What would Hot Tamales taste like?
So many un-marketed questions.

| said by Noah Vail  :So, what would marketing Armageddon look like? ... What would Hot Tamales taste like? They would taste "good". Quality would rule instead of propaganda! Choices would be based on taste as opposed to lies. This would be a good thing. Let the market rule, instead of lying advertisements.

| This admission that they would lose 80% of advertising targets (people like you and me) if they couldn't advertise at them without their permission - this exposes the falshood of their usual claim that targeted ads "benefit" audiences by showing ads for things they're supposedly interested in. If the marketers can't get a person to agree to it voluntarily, it's not a benefit for that person, and the standard excuse is a lie. | |

I don't even like marketing, but I've made this guy a daily read.

| Well that's really it: People should ADMIT that the marketers are correct, in that it would be Armageddon for their industry, and then ADMIT that they want to put all the people in that industry out of work. I am willing to admit that doing away with targeted marketing is worth taking that kind of drastic, anti-business action. The problem is that that gets people thinking about what THEY do, and how readily people would start sending the government out to do away with their industry, if they're doing something that people would rather not be done. | |
