Girly Chinese Pig Investigates McFlurry Machine Meltdown

I could not have woken up to better news this morning, just check out the mornings headlines:

• Peppa Pig trolls Kanye West on Twitter after better album review. This could become a beef for the ages: Peppa Pig trolled Kanye West on Twitter after getting a better album review. While Kanye’s album got a 6.0 rating on music review site Pitchfork. But the loveable English animated pig’s new record was awarded a 6.5 rating on the same site. Peppa is known as an innocent favorite for preschoolers, it clearly didn’t stop her from getting her nose dirty and dragging “Donda”. Peppa’s official Twitter account announced, “Peppa didn’t need to host listening parties in the Mercedez-Benz stadium to get that .5,” followed by a dropped microphone and a pig snout emoji, as well as side-by-side pictures of the two reviews.

• Research shows that adult erotic films are the number one source for sex education for young people, which can lead to some unrealistic ideas about intimacy. So condom brand Eden Gen is challenging Gen Zers to give up the hard-core smut for a month and reeducate themselves.
• Feds are investigating why McDonald’s McFlurry machines are always broken. Machines are so notorious for being out of order that company has joked about them on social media. The machines, are so temperamental that even the company pokes fun at them. “We have a joke about our soft serve machine but are worried it won’t work,” McDonald’s tweeted last year. Now the Federal Trade Commission is probing the situation and contacted franchise owners to get information on what is causing problems with the machines (WSJ)
• China bans men considered ‘girly’ from appearing on TV China’s authoritarian government banned men it considers effeminate from appearing on state television The edict is part of President Xi Jinping’s “national rejuvenation,” which demands businesses, schools, culture and religion adhere to the Communist Party’s vision for a more powerful China. Under the guidelines, broadcasters must “resolutely put an end to sissy men and other abnormal esthetics,” authorities said, using an offensive slang term literally meaning “girlie guns.” (NYP)

There were four more headlines today worthy of your attention, but I will spare you reading.

But what does Cartoon-Pig-porn have to do with Chinese Sissies?

Not much actually. Except for these two things:

1. These are great ideas for headlines and promotions in your business! You don’t have to look any further than your news feed for marketing ideas. Remember my “Seal Slaps Man With Octopus” special I ran for my carpet cleaning business based on the Go-Pro commercial?
2. The other is the Collier Principle: Enter the conversation already happening in your prospects mind. (Robert Collier is someone you should study if you are a serious marketer.) Remember, your advertising is an INTRUSION into the lives of your prospects. But, if you can align your marketing message with something they are already talking about, your message has a much better chance of getting through. That Go=Pro commercial was all anyone was talking about for a few days. I capitalized on that conversation by creating the campaign.

Don’t intrude on your prospects lives with same-old-same-old messages and marketing. Align yourself with them

Remember, you won’t profit unless you implement,
