Every time I break an unnecessary law, doing so for my own joy and to the detriment of no other human being, so I regain myself, and become strong in the parts of me that the security man can never see.”<br/><br/> - <em>William T.

Marketing is about figuring out what people need or want or believe they need and want (which I actually believe are synonymous), and then creating the product to suit that need or desire and then selling it. To let the horse pull the cart instead of vice versa. If you want to know what to make and how much of it and how to sell it, you really have to ask the question: What do people need and desire? And there’s nothing sinister about that.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/persuaders/interviews/garfield.html?utm_campaign=videoplayer&utm_medium=popupplayer&utm_source=relatedlink">Bob Garfield</a>, from the Documentary <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/persuaders/">The Persuaders</a></em>http://predius.org/post/607404353http://predius.org/post/607404353Mon, 17 May 2010 18:36:49 +0100<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l2hxhwgZ2P1qzb7gjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://loveyourchaos.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">loveyourchaos</a>)</p>http://predius.org/post/604896339http://predius.org/post/604896339Sun, 16 May 2010 22:53:24 +0100<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l25ijw3yDI1qam6ylo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://unhappyhipsters.com/post/584493042/he-felt-he-was-making-some-important-points-but" class="tumblr_blog">unhappyhipsters</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>He felt he was making some important points, but his sister refused to acknowledge it, and focused instead on her fishsticks.</p> <p>(Photo: Patrick Reynolds; <a href="http://www.dwell.com/slideshows/the-great-compression.html?slide=8&c=y&paused=true">Dwell</a>)</p></blockquote>http://predius.org/post/584658678http://predius.org/post/584658678Sun, 09 May 2010 20:01:08 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l25xjrv0bC1qzcso1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://fuckyeahskinnybitch.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">fuckyeahskinnybitch</a>)</p>http://predius.org/post/584657692http://predius.org/post/584657692Sun, 09 May 2010 20:00:40 +0100<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1vofy1VIx1qzb7gjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://loveyourchaos.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">loveyourchaos</a>)</p>http://predius.org/post/571571354http://predius.org/post/571571354Tue, 04 May 2010 21:22:48 +0100<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VE9rUHDXRFI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VE9rUHDXRFI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://yournewfavoritesong.tumblr.com/post/568278402/m-i-a-born-free-as-promised-here-is-this-insane" class="tumblr_blog">yournewfavoritesong</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><strong>M.I.A- Born Free</strong></p> <p>As promised, here is this insane video.
