Some Categorically Unctuous Marketing

August 3rd, 2005

just the latest chapter in the coarsening of the culture

From the home page: “TwattyGirl represents a new breed of girl who is financially independent, sexy and unafraid to voice exactly what she thinks and ask for what she wants. Her mantra is sexy, bold, outspoken. TwattyGirl is the essence of a woman with attitude.”

Uh huh.

From fibre2fashion.com: “[New York based hedge fund executive, writer, and site spokesperson Precious] Marlowe argued that ‘twatty’ has a completely different meaning than the offensive slang sometimes associated with a similar word and supported her argument citing several non-vulgar uses – (acronyms for “The War Against Terror,” “The War Against Tobacco,” “Texas Women Anglers Tournament”).”

Uh huh. (Marlowe evidently forgot “Truly Wretched Attitude Terminology.”)

I can’t wait for the site’s forum feature to be enabled (it returns an error right now) — the Web can always use a new forum for political, sociological, and fishing discussions.
