Makework deadend job?
Reminds me of Adobe's "Readme or Die" thing a year or two back.
It takes pitchman (gender neutral sense) to pitch something effectively.
Pitching a product or service is so much more than making hoopla. Compare
that "3 words for you" shtick with something truly memorable, like "In a
word: Plastics." Someone has hired obviously misjudged and hired hip
teenagers instead of a pitchman to write authentic hardsell copy.
