Marketing people
Posted by Chris @ 9:33 pm
I have a very severe dislike of marketing people - they make ridiculous decisions based soley on their selfish greed to make money to hit their targets so they get their bonuses. Don't believe me? Then check this out, some guy wants to disable the fast forward button on new DVR's (digital video recorders) so we have to watch the adverts so he can make more money from the ads we have to watch, so he can hit his targets and get his bonus (I reckon anyway). Argh, why can't they let us live our lifes instead of meddling with them! [via Boing Boing]

Well, as much as I hate marketing, this is more about a corporation losing a revenue stream and trying to punish the consumer as a result which is a different kettle of fish. Anyway, it's not going to happen, so not worth getting worked up over.This comment posted by Chris

I suppose, I guess just the very fact they make these ideas public is the most incredulous part.This comment posted by Chris
