Quarter Pounder Mac mini Cluster (with cheese)
Today, I’m not going to talk about blogs, but about branding, and more specifically, about web sites parodying well-known brands. Of course, it also happens on blogs. Simply, if you take the time to build an elaborate joke, you want it to be seen for a longer time than a blog note.
Anyway, big companies usually don’t like when people such as you and me are criticizing their products or making fun of their brands.
You probably remember the two British guys who posted some weeks ago a spoof advertisement on the Web suggesting Volkswagen’s cars were so tough they could withstand a suicide bombing. They were threatened by the company, which later agreed to drop action against them.
Now, a group of Italian people has designed a single Web page making fun of three of the biggest brands on the planet: Apple, Google and McDonald’s.
Read more and tell me if Apple, Google and McDonald’s will smile or sue.
