Is Red Bull taking over 'World of Dude'?
Discussion
I just had a sneak preview of a mag that's free with tomorrow's Independent newspaper. It's called the Red Bulletin and it's done with the Red Bull people. (The only drink to have on the road home after a hard trackday in my opinion!)
It's like the freebie they give away in the paddock at F1 races but covers all the other sports they're involved with as well, so apart from an interview with 'Crazy Dave' and a mix and match thing with Loeb and Vettel, and a comparison between James Hunt's helmet and Seb Vettel's (don't even go there!) they go on about loads of other 'adventure sports'. Anything that people can shout 'Dude' and ‘Like...’at each other in, like boarding, and extreme this and that - even extreme 'keepie uppie' from what I saw. It seems the 'Bull is involved in all of them!
Is it really such a good idea for one company to be involved in so many activities? Won't it lead to world domination for one guy to influence the 'alternative lifestyle community ' - i.e. people who wear clothes that are far too big and can't string a sentence together, yet have no sense of their own mortality?
