Out Of The Petri Dish...Into the Fire: Marketing Genius

Celabratory Society

Think of this as the most interesting delurking project you'll ever participate in. After giving back to others at the Celebratory Society, I have decided to participate in it myself. You can understand the project in full by clicking here, but in brief, the Celebratory Society is an online festschrift for a blogger--a way for you to tell me what my blog or actions mean to you. But this isn't about me--this is about you too. And I would love it if you returned to your own blog, started your own Celebratory Society post, added it to the main project list, and gave me the opportunity to tell you about...you. Here is my link to the project: Celebratory Society Post

Marketing Genius

Have you seen this Ko.tex video? Because it cracks me the hell up. Why on earth do I want neon colored tampons or pads? Seriously? To advertise that I am on the rag? Right...I open my big fat mouth enough. So they are easier to find in a bag or purse? Well, shit, make 'em glow in the dark then...those I would buy!

But you know what would REALLY sell? (And I actually posted something on FB about this.)

Pads and tampons with built-in vibrators.

Can you imagine the sales spike????

There are some kinks to work out. You know, the additional landfill material, and all those batteries going into them. Because I'm not such a fan of extra garbage. But man, work would be so much more entertaining! And we'd be happy! A lot! AF would be welcomed, or at least tolerated...

I'm just sayin'. It's worth a thought...

It is right up there with the invention of the vibrate setting on a cell phone.

LOL! I totally agree! Who comes up with the marketing ideas for some of these products? You know it had to be a man that came up with the 'Have a happy period' campaign from a few years ago.

LMAO! Sign me up! I'd definitely buy those >:D

Btw, I adore that Cyanide and Happiness comic! I first saw it a couple of years ago (I think) and thought it was hilarious :D

O.M.G. That is classic...that cartoon made me snort out loud!!!!!!!!

I love how the commercials make it seem like if you only use their product, you'd enjoy your period so much more. Yeah, right.

LMAO!!!

Neon-coloured? After all, that I have dumped in this shrine of a body I have, I would like to now add even more chemical goodness into it...

BTW, if it were dark, and I spread my legs, would they also serve as torches? Egad!

You are SO responsible for making me think like this...:-)
