How Does This Taste?

I don’t think this exists…yet.  It’s clever, but the reactions over at thedieline.com are mixed to say the least.  Some think its just a quick way to capitalize on a death.  They are probably right.  But if not now, when would it be appropriate?  Ten year anniversary? of Thriller or Off the Wall?  of his death?

Personally, I don’t think its all that bad.  The fanatics that would buy this can as a collectors item are just as likely to buy it now as they would be a year ago or a year form now.  I don’t think it would generate enough of a jump in sales to warrant a limited edition run, and the potential negative backlash for its “tastefulness” would probably outweigh that .  Those who think its in bad taste, or too soon, wouldn’t have bought it anyway.  I’m not a Pepsi guy if given a choice, and this wouldn’t sway me to go out and buy a can.  The pun is amusing, but I’m sure a large slice of the consuming mass will view this as capitalizing on MJ’s death.

Maybe if it was made with the idea of selling for charity…

PS. the puns are unavoidable…talking about poor taste in a possible soda marketing campaign…

I’m pretty pumped to have a documentary about fighting games actually get released. Here’s to hoping its a fun, accessible watch.  It’s free, and if you have any interest in the trash talking world of competitive gaming, there’s no reason to not check it out.

Happy Weekend!!
