RE: Kia says some things
Wednesday 23rd January 2013
Contrary to popular belief, we’re not in the habit of copy-pasting press releases here at PH, believing instead that it makes things a whole lot more interesting if we bring the information to you with a bit of personality. Or something approximating it, anyway.
Mischievous and friendly? If you say so...‘Kia is set to deliver a provocative and racy new urban concept car at this year's Geneva Motor Show.
Kia says some things
Latest press release from Korea announces... erm... something...?
But we’re making an exception today, because we’ve had a press release through from Kia that really made us smile. Here it is, in its entirety:
Mischievous and friendly? If you say so...
With the company's signature tiger-nose morphing into a mischievous, yet friendly, grille and headlight arrangement, coupled with strong styling lines that exude speed and energy from every angle, Kia's newest concept vehicle is guaranteed to attract attention.’
All of which is delightful, we’re sure you’ll agree. We’d love to tell you more about the car itself, but sadly, that’s all we’ve got. The pictures attached to the release suggest it’ll be a bluff, Juke-style crossover, though, which is rather a shame as we were hoping for a provocative-and-racy coupe or hot hatch. Still, at least we now know what a mischievous-yet-friendly grille and headlight arrangement looks like, eh?
Discussion
Brilliant.Some photographs that don't show the car, and a collection of words that don't actually mean anything.
This will be great free content for the glossy, overpriced car magazines. It'll fit in really well, they'll be able to paste it in without any alterations whatsoever and it'll be a bit of an improvement on their usual content.
How many degrees in Media Studies does it take to make an article like this??

This tbh ^^^^Has their ever been a more useless and counter-productive endeavour than the pursuit of Marketing. Noncy spikey haired people (yes the women too) sitting in posh offices, coming up with different ways to ruin a companies products, reputation and image and then slapping themselves on the back while quaffing bucks fizz. My contempt for them is only matched by that other waste of human life, lawyers.

My problem with marketing is this: my opinions on things is formed by their marketing skills and I spend money as a result. Which means my hatred of everyone who works in that industry can only be a deliberate result of the application of their skills - they want to be hated.
Or they are massively incompetent and I like shiny things.
So the solution is to either kill them all because they want us to hate them that much, or kill them all because they are a parasitic overhead needlessly driving up the cost of shiny things.

That depends if you mean Dani Behr or Dany Bahar, or have I missed an in joke along the line somewhereI'm not sure if it's ever been funny though.
