Yeah, they used paid models to do some weird shit who took the job and by hashtagging it, retweeting it and sharing it on Lemmy you just put the PaloAlto logo in front of millions more people...
Its almost like their plan worked perfectly
"on Lemmy"
"millions of people"
Lulz
12s of people
I knew this was beneath that Read More long before I pressed it
Makes me wonder, is either of them interested in cyber security?
Wait those rnt mannequins??
why use objects when you can literally objectify women
I had this discussion when Tiger Woods’ affair, et. al., was in the news. My friend argued the classic, “No such thing as bad press.”
And I disagreed.
So they finally upgraded it.
Where can I purchase the upgrade?
Even if we accept the idea that “booth babes” are a legitimate marketing ploy, this symbolic blinding-and-deafening of them and removing their faces (symbolically, their humanity) is superfuckingweird.
Seriously, how this got through to execution is pretty shameful.
Booth babes turned me off car and motorcycle shows... Get me someone who can talk about the product, not a girl hired to look good around it.
It's happy hour, having a lamp shade on your head while drunk at a house party is a very old media trope, you are reaching SO hard.
You normally dress up in slinky black dress and stand motionless in front of some advertising for a multi-billion dollar computer company at these house parties?
This is a shame too, as Paloalto has some good products. Now they have a layer of "skeeve" slathered on.
For men. It's a very old trope for men.
Because women in the 1950s when the trope started wouldn't put something stupid on their heads. Even if they were drunk.
You're rationalizing SO hard.
Looks like someone managed to work their forniphilia kink into the event booth. I don't even know how this would tie back to Palo Alto in the slightest
omg i completely forgot it had a name i had just been calling it jd vance syndrome
It actually a secret indictment of the objectification of women.
Hence the lampshading.
All they needed was for one of them to be a well dressed dude with a lampshade.
To be fair I'm a man and have ended a few evenings out with a lampshade on my head
This has more to do with cybersecurity than you think: Anyone who thinks this booth is related to cybersecurity urgently needs cybersecurity advice.
What does the company think it's saying with this?
idk, maybe that women have a bright mind.
But I don't think they want us to tell anything at all, other than that it's marketing that makes people look.
As long as they're getting paid well to do a job they want to do and have breaks, I don't see the problem. It's a job and in this capitalist world, bills have to be paid somehow. Pretty low effort way to earn some money.
Guys I think Graendal isn't bound in Shayol Ghul anymore.
Is it weird that I kinda want one of those hats
If only there was a way to say no if someone ask you to be a lamp.
genuinely cannot tell whether those are mannequins
