"Light pollution sucks. I wish we can see more than the Moon and a few stars at night."
It's from the Pepsi logo redesign documentation
You see, when a huge consumer goods company slightly changes their logo, they might gain or lose a ton of money based on vibes
The management and marketing people need to insulate themselves as much as possible from the potential risk
So they can't spend 20k or even 200k to create 50 new logos and like, test them on people. If the profits sink, it'll be seen as a reckless oversight. Heads will roll.
So they need to spend like 20, 30 million dollars on a high-falutin design consultant, and that consultant also cannot draw 6 Pepsi logo variants and ask "which one ya like"
These design consultants chose to justify the various Pepsi logo options using a psuedo-philosophical process which they catalogued in the most bizarre design document ever created. Over the course of many pages, it swerves between "absurdly overthought justification" all the way to "absolutely lazy throwaway lines next to lazy diagrams", mostly based around a kind of make-believe astrophysical theme.
I found a link to the PDF document. Pepsi paid $1,000,000 for this PDF

Someone actually wanted this. People actually wanted this.
Because I hate myself, I booted up Facebook only to find the boomers clapping like seals over this. Fucking Philistines, I'm "ruining western culture" because I'm queer? At least I am not fighting tooth and nail for everyone to be forced to be interrupted for commercials on things they do not care about. THIS should be considered public indecency, not being gay or trans.
They complain about LGBT "shoving ideology down their throats" by simply existing, then turn around and monetize the sky.
We should put together some money for a trans pride flag add. The fuckers will be demanding an anti-air missile battery be installed on every rooftop to stop it.
Boomer guys, housewives and single parents everywhere love candy crush. I've seen them spend disturbing amounts of real money on that shit. This is basically a monument and not an ad to them
the only solace is that our dystopia will destroy the planet before they can figure out advertising in your dreams
I had a dream a couple mornings ago that Wendy's had teamed up with a Ukrainian Anti-Trafficking org as part of their standard ad campaigns and I noted how propaganda was unescapable. Now I do think about that sort of stuff a lot, but JFC. :pika-cousin-suffering:
Reminded of the Chinese drone shows with communist symbols and stuff. I much prefer that to this.
100%. Older people play it all the time and pay all the micro transactions.
The person that did this said it emissions free and plastic waste free. IS SHE NOT AWARE THERE ARE EMISSIONS AND WASTE IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING THOUSANDS OF DRONES.
:screm-a::aaaa:
Same bazinga mindset that says le crypto uses le green energy potentially. :so-true:
I guess one of the effects of deindustrialization, we have zero concept that production has byproducts at this point lol.
I've push that argument before. Usually the bazingas fall back to "DAE ASTEROID MINING" as if that'd not add more emissions and pollution especially if absolutely nothing else changes but more materials to turn into Funko Pops.
Does the right to bear arms include that Russian laser weapon that can fry drones?
:sleepless:
If anything happens to the executives who did this, that’s fine.
Got the idea from this post by @PissPoorGrandpig: https://hexbear.net/post/232057
So many bazingas I know want to see more of that, right now, BECAUSE it looks like the neon-blue Cyberpunkerinos treats, the nonpolitical ones with no message except le sexy sex is sexy. :doomer:
I once heard a funnier less cringe version of that: "My life is like a video game: I wander around in circles and stab people to take all their gold coins." :knifecat:
Another one I heard: "My life is like a video game: I gobble pills while trying to outrun ghosts chasing me." :specter-global:
My life is like a video game: I spend 8 hours a day doing repetitive tasks to make a meaningless number go up
yes but when do I get an electronic Ana de Armas for a girlfriend
