My advisor said he was going to send me some articles to look over to help me narrow down what I want to do my independent study on but he hasn't yet. I was supposed to get them around now I think. Maybe he meant next week though. I forget when exactly he told me he'd send them.

What the hell is the marketing campaign tactics and strategy with Planters with killing off Mr Peanut?

Was watching the news, and a new Planters commercial came on. Was not really paying to much into the commercial until they let Mr Peanut fall to his death. Then I was paying attention and then it went to Mr Peanut 1916 -2020. This really got me confused, as I was first thinking it was like the Priceline commercial when they also killed off their spokesman before bringing him back. But Mr Peanut is not a human being having a dispute with his contract. So I decided to Google, and Planters is going to have a Mr Peanut funeral during the Superbowl. Really, your going to have a Mr Peanut funeral commercial during the Superbowl? I can understand re-branding, but what do you replace Mr Peanut with, when your selling peanuts? Sure, you can bring him back, but you aired his funeral on the Superbowl. You just cannot walk this back with a new marketing campaign.
I was taken aback with this move. I can't believe they killed mr. peanut. they should fire the exec that thought of this marketing strategy...mike

Just thinking of a new mascot to replace Mr Peanut, and every idea is a horrible idea. Maybe Mr Peanut had a family, and a family member is the new mascot. But your replacing one peanut mascot with a new peanut mascot -- so how is that rational? Then your confronted with bad taste peanut sex jokes that becomes negative tropes. So that only hurts your brand name. Hope they thought this out, there is no turning back.
they could play the "it was a twin" card and say mr. peanut never died lol...mike

I tried to log in to a school account and kept getting an error that it was an unrecognized username or password. I panicked for a minute thinking someone had hacked my account or something. I went to the password recovery website and it turned out my password had simply expired. I wish they would have actually just told me that instead of getting me scared.

A lot of companies these days are all making questionable moves that even us normal people know that upon hearing the idea the first time we know how unnecessary and how it could backfire at them...
Like they really allotted time to brainstorm, have a sit down meeting and all if not majority of the people involved agreed that it’s a good move.

company needs to replace everyone who approved it.

but my guess is, any publicity is still publicity. At this age, anyone will do anything for attention.

My mom keeps talking and worrying me about stuff. This doesn't help when I already can't sleep.
you probably have to learn to tune her out sometimes. and when you can't just tell her if it's not important or you can't do anything about it don't bring it up. and as a last resort every time she brings up something that worries you bring up something that will concern her. after a while she'll stop...mike...*hug*console*shake
