Marketing gone awry: Cingular and AT&T Wireless faux marriage invitation
I opened my mailbox today and found a piece of ridiculous marketing crap. Following the recent acquisition of AT&T Wireless by Cingular Wireless, some utterly worthless Vice President of Marketing at Cingular had this train of thought:
Hey, wow, we just bought AT&T!
Ohmigosh, it’s like we’re getting married! Cute!
We should like, reassure our customers about our service or whatever.
Hey, like, let’s send out fake marriage invitations!
Whoa, look at that shiny thing on the ground!
Which once again proves my point that the marketing hacks of America are out of control and must be immediately spayed and neutered.
