Bainbridge on the Boston Scare: 'Triumph of Capitalism'
Prof. Bainbridge on the hijinks of the Boston duo responsible for the now infamous ad campaign for Adult Swim: “These guys validate my life’s work: They confirm that corporations rule the world and are therefore a worthy subject of study.”
Here’s the rather incredible press conference, where almost every question is answered with, “Sorry, that’s not a hair question.”
The best part is when a reporter actually gets them to address the situation, if even in a somewhat round about manner, by asking the brilliant question: “Are you afraid that if you go to prison you’ll get your hair cut?” A close second is the reaction dumbfounded FOX News anchor.
Don’t cities run first responder drills and similar things all the time? Maybe the city of Boston should chalk it up as a training exercise.
Is all this making anyone else think of this?
Update: Seth Godin, speaking of governments and consumer groups, says “whatever they do isn’t going to change the way marketers do (what they erroneously think is) their jobs. There’s just too much money on the table.”
