Solid.

While the association of this and marketing/pr/industry trends is a huge stretch (notice how SS Patrick is the only one who posts anything useful) this is just too good to pass up. Continuing the theme that our office has of passing around links to old fashion catalogs featuring men who's manliness is measured by the amount of chest hair peaking out over the top of their oversized collars, I now give you these select pictures from Ebony magazine.


I'm pretty sure this collar gives him the power of flight. You think the girl is looking up adoringly at him, but she honestly can't see past the collar.


Its like a crime fighting superhero who had his grandma make his costume. This polyester knit deflects bullets while remaining see through... for the ladies.


Don't look at this photo for more than 30 seconds or your eyes will explode in a technicolor shower of disco-themed confetti.

So what does all of this have to do with marketing/pr/industry trends? Well if I had to make something up (which I am) i'd say its this: All of the wonderful pr campaigns and ideas that you have and implement today, will be ripe for ridicule in just 30 years. Except in the future, it will be our robot overlords laughing at us. The more outlandish your pr ideas are now, the more likely the robots will be amused and spare your life. So keep brainstorming.
