I came upon this treasure the other day, thanks to an away message one of my friends from school had up. Not only do I find it highly amazing and hysterical, but it is also very true.
How did anyone in their right mind think that the slogan "Have a Happy Period" was a good idea? I mean maybe in theory, and at first glance, it does sound like a wonderful, positive slogan and not the "moronic message on a maxi pad" as Ms. Aarons so claims. I suppose it seems logical for a company to want their clients to be happy using their products, but you would think that since the company deals with the menstrual cycle they would take extra care.
But then again if Proctor and Gamble (the company who manufactures Always Maxipads_ is run by Alan G. Lafley: Chairman, President, and CEO, James R. Stengel:Executive, Jorge P. Montoya: Executive, Clayton C. Daley, Jr.: Vice Chairman, Bruce L. Byrnes: Vice Chairman, and the sole woman (FINALLY) Susan E. Arnold: Global Business President, it's no wonder they don't realize that their slogan is completely worthless. And with how sexist corporate America is, it barely matters that Susan is the Global Business President. What do you think the odds really are that she supported "Have a Happy Period" and that it wasn't then men who decided this slogan was great and didn't listen to her two cents on the issue?
Oh if I could've been a fly on the wall during that pitch...

That thing was hilarious. I particularly enjoyed the F-16 comparison.
