I think I may have just seen the dumbest product promotion in the history of the world. It’s so bad, I almost don’t want to tell you about it, out of fear that this company’s Web site might get more hits than it deserves. Have I spent enough time building this up? Maybe I need a few more sentences just to be sure. Okay, the product is…Nestle Crunch. And the stupid promotion? Should they call the goo inside their new candy bar KAR-MEL or KAR-A-MEL? No, I’m serious. That’s the big promotion. They even have Shaquille Anything-For-Money O’Neal on the Web site pushing his favorite pronunciation (it’s KAR-A-MEL, by the way). You think I’m kidding? Go ahead and click on the link. Check it out yourself. But please, don’t vote. The last thing I need is a bunch of marketing morons boasting about the success of the Caramel Campaign. Stupid Promotions suck.
Mmmmmmmmmmm……stupid goo.
That bobblehead thing he’s doing is really annoying. Shaq sucks. I actually met him last season (I kinda work in basketball) and his neck is bigger than both my thighs and his hands are bigger than like, I don’t know, something gigantically huge. And of course we all know he’s just a big pussy on the court. He cries and whines about fouls and pushing (for Godsakes!) and thinks no rules are meant for someone that huge. Asshole.
He’s not only doing a bobblehead thing on the site, they’re selling fucking bobbleheads of him there. Being from L.A., I still like Shaq. But if he blows it again next season, I’ll have to agree with you that he sucks.
Shaq’s an athlete?!
I thought he was some sort of rapping cartoon/video game character who knows kung-fu. Go figure.
Like athletes sit around eating candy bars all day.
Athletes like Shaq do.
Incidentally, it’s got to be pronounced KAR-A-MEL. Otherwise, morons like me will end up misspelling it. See my Valentine’s Day entry for an example.
