Controversial Car Advertising
Via this link you can find some excellent controversial car advertising clips. My favourite is the one with the cat and the roof... Ogilvy & Mather creatives worked with the concept of the SportKa being the Ford Ka’s evil twin. The Ka, released in 1996, was perceived as being a humble economical car. The SportKa needed to attract the maverick market. And so was born the plot that would infuriate animal rights groups across the world. Go check it out...
Telecoms
Een mooie uitweiding over hoe telecoms hun geld verdienen. Er stromen
letterlijk miljoenen euro's naar telecom providers, omdat we of te dom
zijn of het gewoon accepteren.
Daar maken de telecom providers weer handig gebruik van om grof geld
te verdienen. Verizon is geen uitzondering. Deze manier van - in mijn
ogen - oneerlijk geld verdienen is de reden, dat ik geen abonnement
heb bij geen enkele telecom provider.
Wat moet een telecom provider dan wel bieden om mij over te halen?
- Verantwoord handelen
- Openheid van zaken geven
- Een 'normaal' verdienmodel hebben
- Met je klanten meedenken
- Diensten leveren, waar je echt iets aan hebt zonder er weer grof
voor te moeten betalen
- Innoveren
Als deze aspecten zijn afwezig bij Nederlandse en de meeste
buitenlandse telcos. Ik snap ook niet dat andere mensen zich wel laten
ingaan bij dergelijke leveranciers.
Wanneer gaan consumenten zich nou eens meer bemoeien met
verdienmodellen en stemmen met hun portemonnaie? De telcos zijn ieder
geval wel zeer goed en bedreven in het uitmelken van onwetende of
achteloze mensen.
It will go fast... down the drain
You've got to be kidding me! This is so wrong and not in the tone of voice of the Volkswagen brand...
Sorry guys, no good!

Scam-Tainted Get Off Scot-Free
Last week, a Delhi High Court decision forced the Institute of Chartered Accountants to withdraw a notice it had issued to Price Waterhouse’s Delhi unit about the Satyam scandal. The high court decision recognised that the Delhi unit had nothing to do with the Bangalore unit. It was the Bangalore unit whose partners were alleged to be complicit in, the founder and former Chairman of Satyam, Ramalinga Raju’s crimes.
While this decision must be legally correct, it nonetheless amounts to Price Waterhouse successfully pulling off a dirty trick on the investing public...

Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:05:20 +0100Dear friend,
I have been waiting for you to contact me for your confirmable BANK DRAFT of (750,000.00)United States Dollars
all these while but couldn’t hear from you, this is to inform you that I have now deposited the DRAFT with
GLOBAL PARCEL SERVICES (GPS)in West Africa. Since I did not hear from you, I traveled out of the country
for a short Course and I will not come back till end of this year. What you have to do now is to contact GLOBAL PARCEL SERVICES (GPS)
with the information below:
Delivery Officer: MR JAMES PARKER
E-mail: glops@live.com
SHIPMENT CODE: GPS/NGP84
Tel: 011-1-763-6121
Please reply GLOBAL PARCEL SERVICES (GPS) with your address and shipment code for re-confirmation.
Once again, Insurance and delivery charges have been paid for, but the only fee you have to pay now is the
security safe keeping fee of $150 USD, which you will be required to pay. Also note that GLOBAL PARCEL SERVICES (GPS)
do not know the content of the parcel, I registered it as African clothes, and they do not know it contains BANK DRAFT inside.
NB; It is very important for you to reconfirm your home address to GLOBAL PARCEL SERVICES (GPS) for proper documentation.
Please don’t forget to get your tracking number from them before you pay the $150 security keeping fee. It is important they give
you your tracking number before you make any payment.
