United Breaks Guitars

Poderia ser só mais um sucesso de visualizações no Youtube, mas o clipe musical “United Breaks Guitars” é mais do que isso. Composta pelo músico canadense Dave Carroll, a música é uma crítica ao ocorrido entre a companhia aérea United Airlines e o cantor.

Os responsáveis pelo transporte de bagagens da United Airlines destruiram a guitarra do músico. O descuido, alertado por uma testemunha que estava no mesmo avião de Dave, revoltou o músico e a sua equipe.
Meses após o fato, sem ter recebido nenhum reembolso, Dave e sua banda, Sons of Maxwell, criaram este clipe para criticar a companhia aérea, chamando a até de “destruidora de guitarras“. O vídeo, lançado na semana passada, é o primeiro de três vídeo-críticas que Dave Carroll pretende produzir para difamar a imagem da companhia.

United Breaks Guitars conta com mais de 2 milhões de views e 12.756 comentários, tornando-se um verdadeiro hit musical nos Estados Unidos. Assista acima!

A Conclusão é:

Clientes insatisfeitos nunca tiveram tantas possibilidades e espaços para poder criticar algo e até popularizar as difamações. A vulnerabilidade das empresas se tornou um fator preocupante. O que resta as empresas é saber gerir de forma coerente e precisa para que se tenha uma boa saída diante dos possíveis acontecimentos. Afinal de contas, errar é humano.

When Norwegian artist Kjersti Andvig initiated a collaboration with someone called Carlton A. Turner, who at the time was on death row in Texas, she aimed to expose a system which she perceived as a unjust mix-up of right wing politics, strange religious beliefs and cruelty. After their artistic work had ended, they fell in love. continue

Bournville Oscars

It has been alleged that some people achieve greatness only to treat themselves to a Bournville Little knowing that this is when the really hard part begins. Because the science of making Bournville comes second only to the art of eating it. You never gobble up a Bournville, you take time out to gaze at it lovingly. You break it like it were bad news – gently. Hear the ’snap’ but don’t ask why, one day you’ll know. Get lost in the aroma even before the thought of eating crosses your mind. Lastly, ask yourself ‘Have I earned it?’ If the answer is yes, welcome. Welcome to the good life.
