A friend of mine (well I use the term cuz it suits conversational writing) sent me some interesting stuff today… so I make that Aquila o’clock!
No not the great Facebook conspiracy – not yet anyhow. This one concerns a certain companies dedication to quality. Now, Aquila have a ‘client’ magazine called “Flying high”. This is funny in itself because it was the other release title for “Airplane the movie” which, as you know is a comedy based on a disaster where the people in control have no fuckin’ clue what the hell is going on. Sound familiar?
Anyhow, in this magazine Aquila attempt to show you how good they are with ’stories’ about customers they haven’t finished annoying yet, and have a whole load of sales blurb about how great their product is considering it was conceived in the 70’s. The magazine also comes with a lovely covering letter explaining the up-and-comings. This months was a peach.
An entire page dedicated to quality, and the explanation. a snapshot taken on a sneaky cameral phone I believe… can’t be corporate headquarters?
And the covering letter, which must also have gone though the industrious cycle of writing, checking, approval, sign-off… etc…
oops…
Dude! My parents had carpet like that. They bought their house in 1964, and I remember many a day happily throwing up on or watching the dog drag its arse across this particularly hideous piece of kitch.
