      A British toilet company advertised their new "Slanty" toilets for offices in 2019 before it went into production, and then the coverage was not good.

      Regardless, their company (website is standardtoilet.net) is sticking with the product line, and it brags about the critical coverage it received from multiple media outlets. Its online brochure also sports a quote from a self-described "branding consultant and author" that "Design is simply intelligence made simple" and that should be enough to prove that whoever is behind this are probably some of the most diseased corporate fucks straight from American Psycho.

      Also hilarious that the company apparently had some person read a book on branding just to come up with a toilet company name that doesn't show up on the first page when googled verbatim. Oh my god. I regret most of the things I did today.
