There were still recoverable things like photos and other items after the blast. I could swear I was watching a special on it and they had quite a few things.

The fact they are using that to say "don't miss out on news, buy our newspaper" is borderline assholery. I dunno why but the hiroshima one hit me harder than the other two.

Maybe because about 120,000 civilians got turned into ash?

I'd say that's a pretty assholish marketing campaign.

I mean really, who is going to 'miss' JFK being shot, the first atomic bomb used against an enemy, or the twin towers being wrecked?

Seems like a very poignant campaign, very meaningful, that leads me to wonder if someone at the marking group had a great idea for a "How much the world can change in a day" and they decided to use it on a newspaper.

Seems like it could be a great campaign squandered on something trivial.

Dr. Funkenstein · 12-10-2007, 06:46 PM

Right. Because when selling newspapers is how you put food on your table (or prepare for retirement so that others don't have to pay for your non-productive years), it's trivial.

Would it be less trivial if it were an ad for life insurance?

Tuco · 12-10-2007, 06:50 PM

I think that would be worse if it were life insurance. "Make sure you insure your spouse, you never know what will happen!"

It's an interesting and thought provoking campaign, no doubt, but I hold a certain degree of distaste for marketing campaigns that use terrible events, unless they are of course trying to stop those events from happening or help them in some way.

To be fair I didn't know what it was till I bothered to lean in and squint to see the date. I figured it was some important child or something I didn't know.
