It’s another one of those Android marketing meetings.
Big Boss is angry.
“We tried radical,” he fumes. “You gave me radical, but it’s not good enough.”
You’re right boss, you say. Not good enough.
“What we need,” snorts Big Boss, “is something crazy. Something zany. Something goofy. Something that people will take one look at and instantly say to themselves: I HAVE TO GET MYSELF AN ANDROID. That’s what we need.”
Hmm, you say. Something that will make people want to buy Android.
“Yeah,” says Big Boss. “Something that really gets ’em fired up with excitement. Something that’s as far from those OH LOOK AT ME I’M SO COOL Apple ads. They make me spit.”
Big Boss spits, demonstrating his feelings.
OK boss, you say. How about something like… this?
