One year only? Well, that gives him a better-than-evens chance of winning an 8th championship, becoming the undisputed greatest F1 driver of all time, then getting to retire on a high (just before new regs come in and throw everything into chaos for a couple of years) and devote himself to his music career like DJ Squire.

I’m not really going to fault cigarette companies for doing poo poo like this because the regulators were stupid enough to say “you can’t advertise cigarettes” instead of “cigarette companies can’t advertise”

the corona quid posted:I’m not really going to fault cigarette companies for doing poo poo like this because the regulators were stupid enough to say “you can’t advertise cigarettes” instead of “cigarette companies can’t advertise” I'm ignorant about how advertising generally works, and even more so about its purpose here. If it's not obvious that it's Marlboro that's being advertised and you have to dig to find out about it then it's not that effective, right? How do you benefit by getting your name out in such an indirect way?

William Storey is such a classic F1 grifter. He obviously doesn't have the money, but the mere impression of money gets him into the club. Remember the Arrows Nigerian Prince, Qadbak, the Lotus 'coming soon' money? It's all the same bullshit.

I think historians will be fascinated in centuries to come -- if history continues -- by the depths of psychological corruption to which the wealth and power of modern western society have sunk, as evidenced by the Mission Winnow marketing scheme where a fictitious shell company of a poison company can advertise itself by not advertising itself in order to profit from human illness and death. That said, tobacco sponsors are still the best sponsors #forzamarlboro

Khablam posted:thread: *discusses Marlboro for yet another page after PM is raised* I mean if they are specifically aiming for people that would look for and find the connection, sure, but I don't think it's as effective as having your iconic logo and actual brand name plastered all over for everyone to see. I don't think their goal is to capture the goon demographic

Payndz posted:I just did a Google search for "where to buy rich energy". The results were Amazon (via a third-party seller), Rich Energy themselves, and, er, eBay. (For some absolutely ludicrous prices. Ł2599.98 for 24 cans, anyone?) At those prices how could they not make money?

The Mission Winnow logo is pretty clearly intended to vaguely evoke the Marlboro chevron, it's not really that subtle. They don't need to be much more direct than that given the strong association Ferrari already has with Marlboro. All they're really trying to do is keep their brand in the public consciousness.

Remember the Arrows Nigerian Prince, Qadbak, the Lotus 'coming soon' money? It's all the same bullshit. In my head I have a vision of Frank at his desk, William Storey sat opposite after pitching the Rich Energy deal. Frank is sweating profusely as he nervously glances between the framed photograph of Margaret Thatcher on his desk and the ZZ Top tribute act promising him untold riches.
