To me, a lot of advertising just seems to be getting the persons attention long enough to tell them the name of the product.
With Sucker Punch, the company would simply hire a man to walk around in a crowd, hit one person in the stomach, yell the product name very loudly, and then flee. With this
method, the victim, every witness, and the police receiving testimonials are successfully introduced to your product. If caught, the man will disavow being paid, and expose the judicial system to further advertisement. Pure value.
Also, what happened to the "Public:Evil" category?

The joke got boring. |

Sounds like it would lead to bullying, since if you failed to pick easily cowed victims you might have a short life expectancy. |

It's kind of fun to see what categories my other evil ideas ended up in. |

Oliviero Toscani thought exactly the same as you did. He just sucker punched people with extreme imagery next to a logo, instead of a smack in the face followed by an announcement. The principle however is the same: get some attention, name the company. (link) |

I think I once read somewhere that Harry Houdini died as a result of a surprise bunch to the gut. (see link) |

[notevilmarkflynn], how ya been? |

So maybe they guys who assaulted Dan Rather were merely promoting R.E.M.'s new song? (A bit prematurely, since the record came out 8 years later!) |

I've been okay, Miss. I've mostly been very busy doing theatre and ignoring my comics. |

But admit it, [wagster], if this was done right, you would voluntarily watch, laugh and recall many more Sucker Punches than you would dreary old Benetton ads. |
