Deserved
12/18/00
Got what I deserved — a long ass day at work.
Busy busy busy busy busy.X 10 to the 22nd power. So I’m trying not to be tweaked about certain things, and yeah, yesterday was an 80% happy day which was good. Very good. So why do things vex me so? Oh I am very vexed. While at work, I was putzing and recieved an email msg from Snowball asking me to answer a survey about a product. Sure *shrug* I can take 5 minutes and do this.
Well it’s an overview about Evian and I think how their advertising people are trying to come up with a new angle for the younger peeps out there.
HOW STUPID CAN THEY BE. Vexing. Positively Vexing. “What are your thoughts regarding this sketch for an ad (which will be a real photograph and not a drawing!) regarding your impressions of Evian?”
That this is a really stupid & offensive ad. As an Asian American I’m really annoyed and offended by this whole “Let’s try to be all bad ass & continue stereotyping Asians as Kung Fu artists but oh.. with *Evian Bottles*” Fuckers. How insulting.For this, I’d believe even more than ever that Evian is this big yuppy wasp drink for pretentious and close minded hamptonites.
“What, if anything, does the ad make you feel about Evian?”
That they don’t care about offending a highly affluent and brand conscious demographic and the marketing people have their heads up their ass.
What specifically did you like or dislike about the ad?
That it’s fucking offensive
My God. I HOPE THAT THEY DON’T LAUNCH THIS CAMPAIGN Now, do I really think Bruce Lee would endorse Evian with an ad like this? No.
*I* Would like the opportunity of shoving these evian bottles up their noses until it comes out of their ass (Since they have shit for brains anyway, the connecting route must be awfully short & direct) For some reason, I didn’t react so hostily to the Sprite ads. Perhaps because Sprite doesn’t try to be anything more than it is. It’s carbonated sugar water. It’s aware of it’s own self cheeze. The idea of Evian, which is fricking WATER should try & target a younger demographic that is really not going to pay a premium of $0.30/bottle for thier offensive marketing campaign is.. well.. just a little too much.
Vexing. Absofuckinglutely vexing. I feel like bleak. I’d like to say a few calm happy mantras & return you to your normally scheduled program.
First off: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT! Porn pics will be on their way shortly to you (as soon as I get the digicam or my friend Sun takes some *artistic* black & white pics of me this month or next. *Giggle* Hope that Amy doesn’t have a coronary. Additional Happy Birthday regards go to JT, Anna, and Jay
CONGRATULATIONS CONNIE!
Girly, can’t believe you’re getting married so soon! Closing on non vexing thoughts.
Peace out,
Min Jung
