Marketing kind of???
So our fans know that the Globe is very fond of fun, crazy new ways of getting our our marketing message. We are all over the web (obviously you are aware of this if you are reading my blog entry), we are on myspace, facebook, etc. We do the e-mail thing. More creatively we have the ever growing collection of buttons (JEN- Can’t wait to see the shrew ones!!!! WOOOHOOO), we do posters, cards to hand out, possibly some fans to keep people cool during the summer- ok maybe not. However, I think we have just been beat. If you are a CNN.com person maybe you have recently seen the T-Shirt logos next to headlines. I really was not sure what this was so the other day I clicked on one. You can get your favorite Headline turned into a T-shirt, and of course it says Cnn.com on it. I started to think, this may not always be appropriate. Today’s current Headlines:
Clinton could pull "great upset", Free gas, some "accidentally" run out, Al Queda linked to Danish Embassy attack.
None of these are particularly fun- but you could be wearing them!!!! So I started to think through some appropriate, and not so appropriate t-shirt headlines that people might wear:
"Obama wins South Carolina"- i would totally wear this
"Jerry Falwell dies- Gays Rejoice"- Once again a must have
"60,000 Chinese die in earthquake"- not all that fun
"Senator solicites gay sex in public restroom" - might make a statement
"Mission Accoplished"- I think Bush is still wearing that one under his suit.
What are some fun or not so fun headlines that you would want to wear as a T-shirt? What are some that would be appalling, but would be entertaining to blog about?
