It’s time we had another F*** Up. This one’s a doozey. I suppose we could call it a Suck Up.
Dear Marketing Manager – please remember that watching EVERYTHING about your brand is important, even where you stick the sign on the new delivery vehicle.
For more advertising and marketing F*** Ups, just put F*** Up in the search box top left: there are LOADS of them to enjoy.
Oh, while you’re at it, make sure you tell your media buying company to think about WHICH ad (or news story) your ad runs next to.
D’oh!
Well, This Is What I Think 
Whoever designed my minivan would have failed that test. I have a minivan in the first place because I need to tote a wheelchair around – but I am able to stand with a cane or a crutch to pump gas – but the cane/crutch lives inside the door behind the driver’s seat – which slides – and in sliding completely cuts off access to the gas tank. Not that I would have passed myself, but then it’s not my job either.
