Wish I could BS into a £125,000 project

I think I am moving to Scotland.

Scotland just spent £125,000 to come up with the new tourism catchphrase ... “Welcome to Scotland.” Yes, you read that right. The Daily Record newspaper quotes: “top advertising brains” are responsible for the groundbreaking motto.

If they paid that much for Welcome to Scotland, imagine how much they'd pay for a good campaign.

Dead Man Popping!

This is what I would have to call the most soulless act of marketing ever witnessed. Sure they didn't really dig him up, but...well, ick!

Just remaster the old original commercials; create new branding; anything but this zombie selling popcorn. Shameful!
