6708: Shacking Up With Nutcases.


Marketing mania in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• A Radio Shack customer received a woodshed beating after demanding to speak with the store manager. An employee in Wisconsin went postal on an irate customer, beating her so violently that another customer dialed 911. Wonder how new Radio Shack ad agency Butler Shine will spin this one.

• PETA reneged on its proposal to use convicted dog-killer Michael Vick as a spokesman after the ex-NFL star refused to take a psych test for anti-social personality disorder. Actually, you’d have to be crazy to appear in a PETA ad. After all, the organization has hooked up with celebrities like Naomi Campbell—who ironically ended the relationship because she thought PETA was nuts.
