too stupid not to be on purpose

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's no such thing as too stupid anymore.

kinda feels like theyre tryin to take it viral

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're probably right, but it's still not a smart slogan.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't understand commercial marketing people for cases like this. If they literally only listed prices on deals, it still wouldn't matter because shops have relationships with suppliers and will work with whoever has the part when it is needed. All the extra effort in marketing materials like this are wasted effort just to justify corporate staffing bloat.

Source: Ordered parts all the time in an automotive shop and never looked at these fliers because I would negotiate prices with the guys working the desk to beat the corporate negotiated prices listed and they capitulated because we and they both built a great relationship that benefitted us both.

Brand recognition. No ones going to buy shetass brakes because no one has heard of shetass brakes.

It’s a good thing there’s that red circle on the biggest text in the image or my amphibian brain might not know what to look at

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's funny, sure, but I bet that as was targeting repair shops, not the end users of the brakes.

Good catch. It says "For commercial accounts only" at the top.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

No retail parts magazine will mention "comebacks". That is purely a commercial automotive term and most of the time comebacks are an issue behind the wheel, if you have a good shop.

Correction!

If I could make a suggestion: "Brakes that slow you down, but won't hold you up"

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where we going, it's all gas no brake.

The allgasnobrake youtube guy? What happened?

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I mean it's gotta catch to it.

James Dean had these on his car.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's like releasing the Chevy Nova in Spanish speaking markets.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Urban legend.

Unless you would read anything being "notable" as lacking an eating surface.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Notable dining rooms.

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

My only problem with this is that it might hold up in court if the brakes were actually defective.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This may be why the next generation isn't driving as much, too much temptation to buy the brakes that won't slow you down XD

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Are millennials ruining the brake industry with their non-stop refusals to stop or slow down?
