[edit] Race depiction in Future Shop marketing
Don't really understand why the focus on Future Shop's marketing in this article is so ethno-centric. I can't imagine that civil rights activists are gritting their teeth at the so-called "bumbling" black customer, who is clearly just a customer asking about deals to advance the joke.
The article now says the ads were praised - I'm removing the paragraph as it has not been cited and is (apparently) subject to debate. Deleted from Marketing: Future Shop has recently been lauded as having some of the best television advertisements in Canada. Recent advertisements featured a store manager who watches on in surprise and frustration as his bumbling employees attempt various humorous sales strategies. The manager then intervenes helpfully. Civil rights activists have praised these campaigns for portraying an intelligent black Canadian in a higher-powered job. --Jwagar 01:12, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Slogans
Questioning the Slogans section...
- Are these slogans notable? (Every company has lots of them and these don't seem particularly interesting.)
- Can these be verified?
The latter is particularly important. --Ds13 21:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
