Marketing scams!.. big marketing scams.. The only people who make us remember that these days are important days in our lives are the people on T.V , media, people selling pizzas, movies, greeting cards, ice creams, chocolates, and other such accessories which on any other day would seem like a waste of time rather then the need of the hour. All of a sudden, on these days, people have cravings for a coffee, pizzas or feel like watching a movie with or buying gifts for their cherished ones. Well, if u need a calander date to remind you of your cherished ones, you are better off without them.!

The people on the T.V and other broadcast media like radio or newsprint are the ones who seem to be most interested in these seemingly important part of our lives. They make it their moral resposibility to make us realise that "you are so much lost in your useless wretched life, working day in day out like a dog that you have forgotten your cherished ones, your family , your friends, so you need a day to remind them that you do rememeber them. Here,we have created an opporutnity for you and all you have to do is buy the products we are advertising, because this is the only way you can express your heartfelt emotions for them. Buy them a card, share a pizza, watch a movie, buy a new shirt, coz this is the only day in the entire year you can do it, rest of the days are not so good for such activites, for expressing your sentiments (if you have any) or for getting back to your loved ones"

The worst part is, you cannot avoid these bashers however hard you try. Pick up the paper, turn on the t.v, turn on the radio, and lo! there they are , announcing their presence loud and clear. You walk into a mall, a coffee shop, a pizza joint, a restaurant, anywhere and you'll see this big sign boards, hoardings announcing the commencement of these events well couple of weeks ahead. Special offers on these days, discounts, lucky draws and all other alluring tricks in the book. Well, if they are going to "celebrate" these days, i'd like to vote for a few days I'd surely like to "celebrate"
Happy:
-mind your own business day

-don't bug me day

-leave me alone day

-give piece of your mind day

-hug beautiful gals day

-get laid day

-swear day

The way these days should be celebrated are self-explainatory, the name says it all. The only trouble is... how does one come up with marketing stratergies to promote these. hmm.. i wonder
