It's too scary for words... I hope I'll never do this if I become CEO or am trying marketing... If I do, shoot me first, please...

Speaking of going into marketing...how about doing this for a focus group? This is not staged, the guy presenting is a friend of my brothers. They werent really making a the product it was just part of an ad campaign about the worst ideas of marketing for a beer possible. I guess another couple focus groups were bordering on attacking him during this, how he kept a straight face during this is amazing.

I guess during one some woman pretty much attacked him. I love the different size options.

kryzak, to be fair, MDA is an industry leader and pioneer in the area of community based content and application development. I actually ran into folks from MDA last year in a conference at DC. Those guys were special invitees by the World Bank, to advise African/Asian countries about tech. strategy development. I think this admittedly sub-standard RAP is a testimony to MDA's ability to push the envelope in terms of content development. But, ya, it sucks.

Trust me, I don't laugh at this as a knock to MDA's work or effectiveness. But the rap itself is just... terrible... I guess we have to give them kudos for trying. :lol:

Ok, call me crazy, but I loved it. They're hilarious. It's all about putting yourself out there. I'd totally work for them.

I can definitely see your viewpoint AAu. They did come up with something very original (for the Singaporean market), and looked like they were having fun. :) Yes Yes Y'all! :P
