Boy, I sure don't want to see the new MIP

There's a basic rule in marketing that most people are aware of: if your product sucks, market the hell out of it in hopes to trick enough people into buying/seeing/using it. Movies are a great example. Remeber how anticipated that damn Godzilla remake was? And IT BLEW!!!! A lot. Of goats. With violence. But damn, they did some cool ads for it, so about half the world's population got suckered into wasting 10 bucks to see it opening weekend. With all that being said, damn that new Mission Impossible movie has got to suck. I mean, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting ads for that little turd. That all points to bad medicine, Kemosabe. Maybe Tome Cruise should let the promoting rest a bit and try just being a stay-at-home Dad for a while. And let the missus out of her cage for some fresh air, cause American is concerned about her well-being. Wow...even I feel gross about saying that, and I'm a bitch.
