Sorry, last thread is long gone and this just came with a new NatWest bank card and I had to get it off my chest.



Slightly overdrawn? No problem. Just kick back and relax as we do all the fee-taking for you, leaving you free to enjoy all the unicorn rides you want.  Ta-da!

Thanks for pointing out what the op was clearly implying.

Marketing - the department for people who "have a lot of ideas" but can't do strategy, planning or design.

That person who "quit" their "six figure job in the city" to "pivot" into marmalades? Marketer.

That person who "quit" their "six figure job in the city" to write a mystery novel? Marketer.

That person who "quit" their "six figure job in the city" to go into business for themselves as a copywriter and logo designer and brand ambassador and social media and content marketer and strategist and websites and influencer and mentor and speaker?

Marketer.

Edit: Sorry, not offence to any marketers present, I've just run into too many bad ones and I'm feeling punchy today.

Um... did anyone else see that? Okay? We're just gonna ignore it. Right. Whatever. No big deal!

A while ago I attended a seminar for "creating joyful experiences in design" which was exactly the kind of tepid shit it sounds like.

I won't say who and from what company was delivering the seminar, but they talked about users tweeting their "joy moment" when they reached this end of this particular process, and I couldn't help but think what kind of sad bastard would A. Find joy in any kind of online process, and B. Not see it as the transparent pandering focus-grouped shite that it is, and C. Publicly admit it to their friends.

It's idiocy like this that leads to things like Outlook underlining all instances of "congratulations" in an email and showering out some confetti when you roll over it, you know some Head of Marketing somewhere wanked themselves to sleep over that win.

I get annoyed that it puts a little palm tree in the calendar if you say you're on holiday. I suppose I could put 'Annual Leave' or 'AL' as I don't think it recognises that, but I think it's a weird term, I'm on holiday, doesn't matter if I'm still at home in my pants eating crisps... fuck off.

I just assumed mh60 was doing an example of the things they say on tv shows that CaB is hating rn.

Would have liked to have seen someone's bottom though.

To be clear, there was no arse.  I assumed the original post contained something else but then was quickly edited.  I probably assumed wrongly. (Unless there really was an arse, but that'd make it a really good guess and my guesses are never that accurate.)

Oh, whoopsy daisy, one of CaB's silly devils only went and posted a picture of a nakey botty!

We're so very sorry that this happened and that poster is going to go to the naughty step, sit on their botty and think about what they've done.

CONSUME.

Sitting on your own bottom? God that's *umph* disgusting.

I remember when copy was mature
That was a long time ago I'm sure
Now it's as if we're all little kids
Language sure has hit the skids!
"Ta-da","heads-up","don't worry",no thanks!
I think I will change my bank
And I don't mean to sound too whiny
But debit cards aren't fucking shiny.

Products being called Mmm...! and Yum! and So Good! was the beginning of the end of ordinary human dignity. See that? That's what your betters think of you. That's what they think the voice in your head sounds like.
