Mo & Mo en Route -Disillusion

Disillusion

First debate is done and it doesn’t look like there are any fewer disillusioned voters.

Contentious campaign… Yuh think? No pulling punches here. Supporters tend to have rather strong feelings too… Ah yup. You know, this thing is so close and neither of them is likely to win over 50% of the vote… This all leads to one really big question. Forget baskets, how are they going to govern this Big “Bucket of Disillusion-ables”?

Mo & Mo en Route – Again…

Selfies again

I have been out for the past few days, so I have republished an old favorite that still rings true, especial during this campaign.

Is it a need for validation, narcissism, proof of life? What’s with this obsession with selfies? …but then again hasn’t it always been an obsession? I suppose it’s just a whole lot easier now. Unless of course you have short arms then it’s just pointless.

Mo & Mo en Route – Privacy

Privacy Conditional

Is Privacy conditional? So, if it is ours it’s sacrosanct? If it’s news, tell me more?

More revealed emails from the DNC hack, more personal comments making juicy headlines. So let me get this straight, personal privacy is a huge issue now… except if you are a politician or a celebrity who has been hacked? Government does it and it’s outrageous, hackers do it and it is fodder for fun, entertainment and profit. OK I get it, since when has

Mo & Mo en Route – Endanger

Endangered List

Saving endangered species is important. Name calling, market speak and pandering, endanger those.

Did you hear? The Panda is no longer on the “Endangered Species List”. That’s great, what about the “Should be Endangered List”. ??? The “Should be List” takes less effort than saving Pandas, and could end something like... “Name Calling”, which doesn’t solve anything, complicates everything, and is never clever. Or end “Marketing Speak”, “Hype” or “Pandering”…endangered those! So it’s the opposite of the “Endangered Species List”, when it’s gone it’s good? So what about War, Hunger, Corruption? Those are on the “Should be Endangered Primo List” requires much more effort.

Mo & Mo en Route – Care

Use with Care

Twitter headlines causing quite a stir of late, seem to be costing some tweeters quite a bit too.

Whoa look at this! Use of this service can be hazardous to your health. Whatever you say can be repeated and repeated and repeated… Your random thoughts and quips may become irritating and hard to shake… Comments you make may lead to loss of job, fans or friends… Your words might require P.R. or severe spin control… You might experience trolls and nasty, rude and hurtful comments… Use with extreme caution! About time Twitter had a Warning Label… Afraid it would be too little, too late for some.

Mo & Mo en Route – 4Sales

Values for Sale

Corporate Values are important only as long as they help profits.

Olympics are over… and the big story? A drunken night out got big coverage. Now the sponsors are cutting ties, saying the athlete no longer represents their values. You mean those values they share with the contractors who make their stuff, while paying workers low wages in hazardous conditions? Those would be the greedy values. That would be the ones.

Mo & Mo en Route – Rude

Rude Behavior

Rude behavior is marketed, promoted, cashed in on, and now it is running for office.

Why is rude behavior so celebrated? We celebrate it in commercials, in entertainment, on the web. We gawk at it, re-tweet it and post rude behavior with such regularity… One would think it takes some sort of extraordinary skill to do so. In really takes little skill and even less thought to accomplish. And as if we can’t get enough of it… We now are inundated with tweets, sound bites and factoids. Welcome to campaign 2016. Talk about getting what you ask for.

Mo & Mo en Route – FUD

FUD

FUD, fear, uncertainty & doubt, not just for Marketing anymore, now an election staple too. Oh, joy…

FUD? Fear, uncertainty and doubt. “A disinformation strategy used IN selling…” everything. FUD dates back to the 1920s, re-popularized by IBM, now used by sales & marketing and PR everywhere. Spreads misinformation to make customers fear using the competition. ...OR in politics FUD is used to scare voters into not voting for your opponent. …In this campaign it’s super popular. For some it’s their whole platform... Like… Donald FUD! No relation to Elmer thank you very much!

Mo & Mo en Route – Holes

Digging Holes

“If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” … great advice. Advice going unheeded in this campaign.

A certain Candidate on the trail, when in a hole, just keeps on digging and digging. Where’s he Digging? Digging to China? A tunnel maybe? Being a builder and all. The fact is it doesn’t really work like that. But facts really don’t seem to matter anymore. They should ask us about digging and holes, we’re the experts. We can be campaign consultants… I like that. This s a nice hole. I’m staying here till the Election. Or till high tide.

Mo & Mo en Route – Matters

Votes Matter

Votes matter. Choose to vote. Know who you are voting for. Know your choice.

This election has certainly been emotional. …Mostly fear, anger and frustration. Losers lamenting their lost hope. Where to go from here? Can’t just pack up and go home… The heartache they feel, is nothing compared to the headache they will have, when they realize what just happened on Nov 9th. To quote a “Brexit” turned “Regrexit” voter, “I didn’t think my vote was going to matter too much” The protests eventually will be forgotten. The Winner won’t be. There is still a choice to be made. Make no regrets! Why the headphones? In don’t know to look Kool? Who’s in the booth there? Security we’ve got rodents? I vote to go… Good choice.
