Examples of wanky 'rebranding'
|
|
Was in Sunderland in the week (not quite the shithole most assume it to be, by the way, just a very small city with some nice areas and some dives like anywhere else) and in several brochures for the general Tyne & Wear area, the word 'NewcastleGateshead' kept cropping up. Never even so much as a space between the two. What the fuck is that about?
Another one that has always irritated me, and not just because of who plays there, is 'stadium:mk'. Fucking grow up.
Your examples please.

When I think of Sunderland I think of the old crack whore who used to walk the streets outside my house she only had one eye (lost the other in a fight) and had a black cat tattood on her shoulder. She was actually a nice girl, probably dead now

'Was in Sunderland in the week (not quite the shithole most assume it to be'
That sentence gives away the fact that you made all this up.

My least favourite ad at the moment is the Bulmers one with Plan B. Those two products deserve eachother.

Antibiotics that have failed human trials becoming "growth promoters" in animal feed. I worked for a dairy company for a while and we sometimes saw blue whey because too much was added to the animal feed. As a consequence I wouldn't touch the whey protein gym nutcases consume with a 10 foot pole. Antibiotic resistant gut microflora agogo.

Medium, Large, Grande (or whatever) = Small, Medium, Large.
Unlimited Broadband/Phone calls = Limited Broadband/Phone calls
Custom Service Department = Impenetrable brick wall, designed solely to prevent the customer speaking to anyone with any understanding of the product/service the company provides. Let alone the authority to deal with the customers problem.

Seriously, though, the worst rebranding is done again and again b whichever fuckers run the church. Sumerian, Egyptian, Old Testamant, Greek, Roman, Christianity, Islam......They are all the same old story, just rebranded every couple of millenium or so, in order to get with the times, once most folk have decided that whatever good book is doing the rouds is a load of old cunt.

If you look at the old one, it looks well dated.
