kona, @ that chick that got the boot, what were some of her dumb ideas?

+++++++++++++++
she was the head of marketing and advertising. to name a few...- Outsource ideas for our new marketing plan, when we have 8 marketing and advertising professionals here who we pay to do that.
- Outsource big money to copywriters who aren’t funny though they try to be, and really write shit copy when we have a copywriter here who makes a nice penny checking what someone else writes for spelling errors. That’s all she does. No writing, just spell checking. What a waste.
- “Develop a new image that really captures the essence of college kids”, which turned into outsourcing some guy to draw pictures that look like a 5 year old did them of fat, zit faces, mullet head, racist (black men all had afros, one with a pick in it), wife beater wearing hairy idiots. The studies we did after it was released were great (for all of us who thought it was a horrible idea) the college kids pretty much were all like wtf, you make us look like stupid fat lazy morons. This is a horrible idea.
- “Yellow (more like the color of baby poo), green (more like puke green) and maroon is a nice color scheme, use it on all of our html emails, and make sure you use css cause that is the new technology and we have to be on top of these types of things”. The first 5 emails we sent out bombed.
- This next one was I think the straw that broke the camels back. We were designing a billboard advertisement and we printed out a poster size mock-up for review. In a meeting with the CEO and other high ups in a room flanked by large windows she said “Ya know, you really don’t know how this is going to look until you get it up high” then proceeded to walk over to the window and place it on the glass, the next sentence I still giggle about. She said “I’m still not seeing it... do you?!?.... GOD, I WISH I HAD A BIRD THAT I COULD STAPLE THIS TO AND IT COULD FLY AROUND SO WE COULD SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE SKY!” very loud and I think I seriously wet my pants a bit laughing so hard. I excused myself and stepped out and laughed for most of the rest of the day.
I could think of about a hundred more but those are the first ones that come to mind.
