consumer product x sucks and has many flaws as compared to consumer product y

[datasuspect]

argue amongst yourselves.

1. Y donates more to dems then the gop

too

2. x has a better human rights record

3. x has production plants in China, which has a horrible human rights record. nt.

[datasuspect]

4. x cannot be held responsible for the actions of its third party vendors

believe me, when the new CEO came in last quarter, he mandated a review of all contracts to ensure these practices would be eliminated by FY2010

5. That is merely one aspect of why product y is superior to product x.

Purchasing product y will solve all of your problems. The initial expense will amount to long-term not only because product y holds its value, but also because it emanates a warm glow that fills you with an overwhelming sense of well-being. Product y will make you more attractive to potential sexual partners. Product y cures impotence, depression, yellow fever, dropsy, and several palsies. You must never, ever speak ill of product y.

6. product x is an integral piece of an encompassing campaign

to promote a lifestyle narrative which is driven by the purchasing dynamics of the 18-25M and 18-25F demographics, and some aspects of urban markets.

inherent in this approach is the idea that staying in constant contact (if only to show that you are available) is truly desirable. no one wants to be left out of the loop.

in conjunction with the CX130 "BLOTECH" handset, we project high ROI, increased market share, and polarity across all verticals.

7. This discussion of x vs. y is very sexist.

X isn't necessarily 'better' than y.
They're just different.

8. Producer of X has managed to create brand image...

...of product as "cool" and "down with the kids." It also makes token donations to charities and causes likely to resonate with target market. Further, it ensure that only those celebrities who reflect its "brand values" are photographed using/wearing/wiping their asses with product X.

Product Y, on the other hand, despite being functionally identical to X, has none of the reflected glamor and, consequently, sucks.

Product X costs $599. Product Y is given away with a full tank of gas.
