Lex Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Brooklyn strikes back. I was keeping up with the comments from day one. It looks like I wasn't the only one irritated by the tone of the article and the precious comments from the subjects. Here's a comment left out of the blog report. Has anyone else noticed the insufferable smugness of the article and the people cited within the article? There is a oh-so quality to pretending that they are higher moral creatures because they know how to make bread. Guess what? Every little aspect of your lives is not important. Exactly. I can't resist posting this quote from the article again. Along with butchering whole animals, Mr. Castronovo and Mr. Falcinelli, the owners of Frankies Spuntino restaurants in Brooklyn and the Lower East Side of Manhattan, will be making their own charcuterie at Prime Meats. “The whole process, truthfully, will take a long time.” Mr. Falcinelli said. “The aged stuff will take a year to understand. Pâté will take a few months.” And these people wondered why there was a negative reaction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne F Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 What a shame. Falcinelli used to be so cute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flyfish Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 All this time I have somehow been visually "reading" ghostrider's avatar as some kind of odd flying fish, when it's a seagull flying the other way. D'oh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Aaron T Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I realized at the Jimmy Eat World concert on Wednesday night (the 4th) that I had forgotten to pay my rent. Oops. I mailed it in the next morning and that night the landlord called to let me know he hadn't received it. I could honestly say that I had mailed it in and asked him to let me know if he hadn't received it by Saturday and I would send a replacement check. He called yesterday to say he had gotten the check. Phew. I added a note to my calendar to pay the rent next month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Arnell is real and is considered to be an expert on marketing and brand identity. It does look very much like his style of presentation. He's also an inventor. a taste of peter arnell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The Arnell Group. (I am assuming, possibly incorrectly, that this is genuine.) The Pepsi ethos has evolved over time. The vocabulary of truth and simplicity is a reoccurring phenomena in the brand’s history. It communicates the brand in a timeless manner and with an expression of clarity. Pepsi BREATHTAKING builds on this knowledge. True innovation always begins by investigating the historic path. Going back-to-the-roots moves the brand forward as it changes the trajectory of the future. I would love to stuff a mattress with this light airy fluff. I'd sleep wonderfully.

I don't think it's meant in a good way When I am choosing a soft drink the shape and color of the logo is of primary concern to me. Taste is a distant second. Idiot. Everyone knows what goddamn Pepsi tastes like. They know what Budweiser tastes like too. That's why Anheuser-Busch uses Clydesdales and stupid frogs to sell their beer. Hot chicks work really well too. A new Pepsi logo that looks like a smiley face? No. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
