Title: What Can Brown Do for You?
Post by: midnight Target on April 20, 2003, 10:40:16 AM

Anyone else think this is about as stupid as advertising can get? Talk about setting yourself up for ridicule!

If the "brown" advertising has you thinking and  talking about UPS, then the ads are doing their job.

Sometimes stupid advertising can be most effective, although I think this is a good campaign, I did hear them say, "Brown knows......what my business needs.


Took an aural double take when I heard that. :)

Yep, it's a good advertising campaign and truthful too.  UPS = crap.

I've never had good luck with USPS and packages.  UPS I've found to be much more reliable.  Can't say I've ever been a big fan of Fed-Ex either.

Our company gets great service from UPS.  *shrugs*
Very good value and customer service.

The "Brown" campaign is idiotic though.  I hope they understand that in some circles "brown" is slang for poo.

I laughed my bellybutton off when I first heard this commercial for Brown... lol

we used to say "That's Brown..." as slang for that's stupid (or worse)
and yeah.. the obvious 'poo' reference
