Taipei Nights: Marketing the Condos named “Blog”.
Marketer: “So we’ve got a great name for the new building: Shi Da Blog! Whadda you think? Pretty hip huh?”
Developer: “That sounds very hip indeed. The word blog is so hip and youthful.”
Marketer: “We can also have a website.”
Developer: “Yeah everybody has websites these days. What’ll ours be?”
Marketer: “Myblog.com. How’s that sound?”
Developer: “That’s great! I can’t believe we can get myblog.com, such a great name for my new multi-million dollar condo website!”
Marketer: “Welllll…we can’t ACTUALLY get myblog.com, but we can write myblog.com on all our posters! It’ll look great!”
Developer: “We can do that?”
Marketer: “Sure, why not?
Developer: “Well common sense would dictate that if we have a huge marketing campaign including massive four story tall billboards that we put a domain name for our OWN website on it.”
Marketer: “Yes, but this isn’t common sense. This is hip-sense. And trust me my hippness sense is hipper than yours.”
Developer: “Man, I’m so glad we hired a hip marketing company. I’m so damned hip. ‘Myblog.com.’ Damn that’s hip. ‘Shi Da Blog’ what a hip sounding building. If we didn’t have you guys around to be hip for us, we’d have ended up putting our OWN domain name on the promo. How un-hip would that have been? Phew!”
Absolutely Hilarious.
