  • I had never heard of that tactic. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be looking for IRL examples now.

    Nixon should have started a hobby in hydraulic engineering specializing in the design and production of water gates, specifically for the Potomac River, including one near that hotel/office/apartment complex that’s name I forget.






  • And just to rub salt into the wound, someone created a clothing store named after the political corruption imposed on those countries to accomplish this: Banana Republic.

    I can’t think of what an equivalent would be in terms of offensive marketing, Starving Irish brand potatoes? A Saudi demolition company named after September 11th? A clothing store inspired by antebellum southern US clothes? I guess some companies still use imagery of indigenous people for tobacco products. That seems like it’s in the same vein.

    Generally, I try to focus on how beautiful life can be, but damn if there isn’t a crowd trying to make it ugly for others.
