Marketing strategy your ass?

Apparently one psycho guy sent couple of coffins to media agencies yesterday and that includes to someone I know really well in my life.

I was startled, surprised, SHOCKED, when I received the picture of this coffin. It was still in the box, half opened so that I can see a glimpse of it. It was brown, big, and complete with the "Rest In Peace" words carved on the wood.

What the fuck.

First thing first, I came out with an idea that the sender is beyond crazy and stupid. WHO THE HELL IN THE WORLD SENT COFFINS TO SOMEONE WHEN THIS PERSON IS STILL ALIVE AND HEALTHY?

Well after minutes of panicking like a mother who lost her child in the department store (what is this metaphor), I got the news that this 'coffin terror' was just a 'creative' way to promote this mental person's new book. Yes, his book, which I didn't even care to look for the title because the promotion itself scared the hell out of me. Wait, I did take note that the book... is about something marketing, media, whatever, being killed by the new era, or whatsoever... Gosh. I'm just too lazy to search for the title but I remembered that it is about something being killed by something and there's a "RIP" written somewhere in the title as well. 

Apparently the person chose to sent coffins as to attract the medias' attention due to its very 'creative' method. Sorry to say, but this method is just too grotesque. Sending coffins to people without any announcement will only make you look like you're terrorizing the medias. You can pull something less obnoxious than that. Isn't coffins' expensive as well? Sigh, the next time you want to launch a book about elephants, make sure you ship three elephants to me.

Talk about marketing strategies, I kind of... got tricked by Pringles yesterday. 






The "Big Can" basically, is just the same with the normal can. There's nothing in between the yellow part of the can lol the chips start to accumulate from the green part all the way to the bottom part of the can. This is a bit irrelevant but I kind of find this to be interesting. Just like when I first found out that Mcdonalds' only gives us a bit of Pepsi yet loads of ice blocks in our cups.

I was like 6 years old when I discovered that.
