The scary marketing experiment story


" That's a stupid marketing idea. I won't work" I said as we strolled into the office complex.


My partner had just suggested a wacky idea for promoting out flagship product.

And it sounded too crazy.


"people would not take us serious" I kept telling him.

'well, you never know tilll you try" he replied.

" i have seen stupid ideas that work wonders. And remember , you always said...test everything". he added.


And well, he was right. I have always told him that.

So i mulled he thought over and said...

"okay. go do it"


He smiled like he just received the good news of a promotion and raced out my office.

The next day, as I got to the office, I saw something that almost made me vomit.

On top of one of our car was something that looked like a corpse.

"What the hell?"

"Is this what his idea was?". I asked myself.



I pulled out my phone and dialed a number.

Someone was about to be verbally annihilated.

The Story of The Star Gazer

“I have found it” 

James screamed with joy like he just won the lottery.  He dropped the telescope and sprinted in my direction.

James was my twin brother and an amateur astronaut. That’s what he called himself though. I preferred to call him the “crazy star gazer”.

Since we were 7, he had always been fascinated with stars and astronomy.
I remembered the day dad bought him a toy telescope. He smiled from ear to ear like a boy who just got room full of candy.

For the next 12 years, he kept studying and gazing at stars.

“What is it this time?”
“Have you found another onion?”

 That was my way of mocking him. Onion meant Orion.
“Just come check it out”

He dragged me to where he kept the giant telescope.
“Just take a look” he repeated.

I grabbed it and looked.
All I could see were clouds.

“James, did you just make me spend 10 seconds of my life watching clouds”
“What’s all the fuzz was about?”


I dropped his equipment and walked away like an angry child who just got grounded by his dad.
