OT: Ford To Debut New Bronco - On O.J.'s Birthday
You know - 365 days in the year, and Ford has to pick O.J.'s birthday to debut the new Bronco. Can these idiots owning/running Ford do anything without shooting themselves in the foot?
In their defense, I can’t see this being a consideration until it’s pointed out to them and it’s going to be fun watching them catch some shit for this.
Yep - gotta think this will definitely Juice up the press.
I wondering if they will be slashing prices in his honor
Only on the Bruno Magli Edition.
These OJ puns hertz my ears
You should plug them, but make sure you wear gloves and nonchalantly discard them when finished.
I hope they hire Al Cowlings to do the press introduction for the vehicle. That would be killer.
It's a great vehicle for when you've really got to make a run to the airport.
I bet those bucket seats will fit like a glove.
Watching them trying to catch is what it's all about.
I really can't see anyone caring about the date this much. Sometimes - and I know this can be hard to comprehend in these days of outrage - things are just a coincidence.
that is an outrageous take!
(/s)
It might be a coincidence but if they have been made aware of it it’s not too tough to move the date up or back one day. It’s in poor taste
From a marketing perspective it’s a brilliant idea. You know how much publicity that is going to get? It’s free advertising just on the sole fact that it got you to post about it. I’m sure many others will talk about it too after seeing the news story.
Killer execution.
From an impressions standpoint, it's brilliant. However, when the impressions are negative the conversion to sales could be negatively impacted. Time will tell.
Don't know about you, but this doesn't make me want to buy a Bronco, or any Ford vehicles.
I can't decide if I hate this or love this...
Eh. If this is something people really care about, that's silly in my opinion.
It's not as though they chose the day he had the low-speed chase in a Bronco. That would be a bit more curious.
Did anyone ever do one of those marketing studies about how much free advertising Ford got from that car chase?
That's actually brilliant marketing on their part. Hopefully OJ himself notices and gets pissed about it, it'll be trending on Twitter and give the launch more free publicity.
You seem like a pretty whiny individual. I would guess 99.9% of American society does not know what day is OJ's birthday. Ford's leadership is no exception. This story is nothing.
I would think it's a problem only if you think OJ was innocent and was railroaded by the justice system.
Otherwise, great timing and free publicity if folks draw attention to it.
Technically he is innocent.
Wrong. Technically, he is not guilty. There’s a difference.
Technically he was "found" not guilty, even a bigger difference.
Innocent until proven guilty. Not proven guilty = innocent.
Where does liable fit in there?
They could have debuted it on June 17 (Wednesday). That is the day the Ford Bronco became famous after all.
99.9% of folks don't know OJ's birthday. Non-story IMO.
Savages.
Does it come with a complementary set of leather driving gloves?
Yes and a pair of Bruno Magli shoes. Size 12 only.
Extra large glove compartment
The world has already had a reality TV show in which OJ tried selling the actual white Bronco, so accidentally scheduling the debut on his birthday doesn't seem like it's going to be a huge blunder.
No, really.
Oh oh oh- they should get the Kardashians involved too.
Sign me up for the Goldman edition
I thought a guy named "The Fugitive" would be all over this.
there will be a change to the announcement, right?
That's just hilarious, in a sick and twisted way. You know that isn't by mistake. Genius marketing move. All they now need is the first 10 autographed by him!
The NEW ford bronco. It’s even better than the orenthal........I mean.... original.
