I finished my first (and last) marketing assignment this week. Here’s what I told a friend about it:

“I believe that, were I to print mine, an Indian somewhere would shed a single tear. Moreover, every employee on Madison Avenue would feel a cold chill down their spine, and the authors of the Cluetrain Manifesto would all get nosebleeds. I, myself, shall know the very meaning (or translation, as it were) of schadenfreude if I get anything above a C-.”

I’m not the only one who said this. Everyone I’ve talked to in the class thought the assignment was ridiculous, and as far as I can tell everyone just shat out 3 pages of gobbledegook and hit the ‘submit’ button.

Hooray for higher education.
