An Inaccurate History of Advertising : An Inaccurate History of Advertising Forums

Hey Product Hunt! Did you know that Nike's iconic JumpMan logo that adorns Michael Jordan's line of shoes was almost ChickenParmMan? Did you know the first ad impression started at a speech Plato gave, and it ended in a bloodbath followed by a free lunch? Did you know that if you even look at the 4 Ps of Marketing funny, several very serious, furrow-browed academics will boo you on Twitter? Did you know this book features Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Bezos, Malcolm Gladwell, Richard Branson, Tony Robbins and many, many other industry giants in a series of very misleading promo posters that, in fact, say none of these dudes even know who I am, much less participated in this absurd book? So many incredible things aren't true about this book. It's a wonder why it was even written. The actual truth? "An Inaccurate History of Advertising: Fabrications and Other Deliberate Lies About a Profession No One Wanted or Needed" was incredibly fun to think about, write, and design. **Product Hunt members can download the dang thing for A DOLLAR (usually $10).** All I ask is what any humble, self-promoting maker/hunter would ask - if you think it's funny and it gives you a few moments respite from hectic professional life...share with a friend! Thanks! Andrew
