This is another angry rant about something I saw a few moments ago. The offending article was a Dr Pepper Facebook advert. Its a clear attempt at playing off the old WWI poster created by Lord Kitchener to recruit British males for the UK army.
In my view this is probably the laziest advert I've ever seen. This is the kinda of lazy marketing people use to advertise a school bake sale or a junior football team advertise their local tournament. Here are four examples of it. Now I love a good cliche as much as the next person, but seriously this has been more overused than the drivel about PPI Insurance. And in fact when (not if, when) I am supreme overlord of this country, I shall ban the use of this image in that format, and only allow it to be used in the recruitment of suicide bombers who help me destroy Macclesfield and Liverpool (FOR THE ATTENTION OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. THIS IS A JOKE... covering myself there...)
