The buzz word in today’s business world is MARKETING.

However, most people often ask for a simple

explanation of “Marketing.”

Here it is:

You’re a man and you see a gorgeous woman at a party.

You go up to her and say, “I’m fantastic in bed,”

That’s (((Direct Marketing)))

You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a

gorgeous woman. One of your friends goes up to her and

pointing at you says,”He’s fantastic in bed,”

That’s(((Advertising)))

You see a gorgeous woman at a party. You go up to her

and get her telephone number. The next day you call

and say, “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed,” (((That’s

Telemarketing)))

You’re at a party and see a gorgeous woman. You get up

and straighten your tie. You walk up to her and pour

her a drink and then say, “By the way, I’m fantastic

in bed,” That’s (((Public Relations)))

You’re at a party and see a gorgeous woman. She walks

up to you and says, “I hear you’re fantastic in bed,”

smile, release
present moment, wonderful moment

Spiderman 3 is not just all fun and games, you know. Look a bit closer and Sam Raimi and co. are really making very acute social observations about life, love and sand.

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

1. EMOs are a product of alien symbiosis

2. If you find yourself running from the law, no problem! Just hop over the gate that says ‘DANGER! Particle Physics Experiment in progress’ and you’re in the clear.

3. If your girlfriend is hanging from the roof of a demolished skyscraper, never fear. Nonchalantly take some pictures and introduce yourself to her father, who also doesn’t seem to give a shit.

4. Flipping pancakes and listening to vintage dance songs will only lead to adultery.

5. Black is the new red. And alien goo is the new cotton.

6. If you ever find yourself battling a giant sand person and a jagged-toothed photographer alongside your best friend who just tried to kill you, be sure that you and him exchange ‘witty’ banter at every opportunity. “I’m a little busy over here, buddy.” “I’d love to help you, but I’ve got my hands full, buddy” and so on.

7. If you want to kill someone real bad, then go to church and pray and maybe, if you’re lucky, God will provide you with an alien suit made of pure evil.

8. Sufferers of amnesia just can’t help smiling ridiculously and eating ice-cream. Oh life is good when you can’t remember anything.

9. Bad boys eat cookies, drink milk and mimic their lecturers down the phone in a hilarious manner.

10. Is your girlfriend feeling down? No problem, make her feel better by passionately upside-down kissing some really hot chick in front of her.
